Does anyone know if there's anything special due to happen this Saturday as part of the Strathspey Railway's steam fair?

Also, will there be any locos sitting outside Aviemore shed on Saturday?

Thanks.

Hey, sorry this is late, but I'm on holiday (Otherwise I'd be TTI'ing oot ma nut this weekend)

Yeah, one of the main locos (828/46512) will likely be sat outside the main shed.

At Boat there's going to be some traction engines, classic cars and a marquee with various other things, mainly for the kiddies though. Most stuff will be at Boat.

Further up at Broomhill, there will be some classic Jaguars (or so I am led to believe), as well as tea, coffee and absolutely cracking tablet from Mrs Thompson!

Hi mate,

Unfortunately, you're reply came too late, as by the time you posted, I had already visited the Strathspey where I learned how to drive a Class 31 and had moved on up to Inverness. Neither 828 nor 46512 were out on shed at the time of my visit as both were on trains, and naturally, both were my attraction as the only steam vehicles I'm purely interested in are Steam locomotives, and these two in particular were the definition of perfection.
