The Kernow Growler--27th June

[33011]

No, I wasn't wrong!

You put some extra LEDs up, but there were two at the far extremity of the coach that were mine from last year - I even suggested to Jo in the morning that she could buy 3 AAA batteries and use my lights if needs be

To be honest James if you read 37412's post it does seem to suggest that all the lights were yours. Where in the post that 37113 was responding to does it mention just two at the far extremity of the coach? I also read the post thinking they were all yours.

Thats where i got mixed up then, thought I was going insane, I was sure you had said that the lights had been yours, cheers for clearing it up!

Anyone want to take bets on what locos are down for it? (round up, round up £5 a bet step right up and place your bets )
im willing to bet any 2 for these locos 37069,37609,37607,37087 have a strong feeling that one will be a 376xx as they seem to be getting around a fair bit.

259+423??

 

[37401]

259+423??

yes please, ive got good memories behind 423 on the fellsman chopper

 

[37412]

259+423??

Thats does seem a popular quote!

 

[Ferret]

Though why the hell we need to have 423 again is beyond me. 37682 needs a run out I reckon...............

 

[37412]

37682 needs a run out I reckon...............

If anything needs a trip out its 510!

 

[Ferret]

Well that's true enough! Still, if 37423 works it'll be officially Spitfire's pet! Cleethorpes, Carlisle & Penzance?! Go on folks, get 682 or 510 out for a stretch

Add Paignton to that aswell.

682 worked the weekend just gone. So I don't think it'll work again.

 

[Ferret]

You're probably right... It's purely selfish reasons for wanting 682 - I went up for it on Saturday night and we all know what happened then.... In the words of Meatloaf 'I Want My Money Back'!!!!

As for 423 to PGN - I forgot about that! Even more reason for it not to produce then

Don't forget its trip to Fort Bill last year with Beckett's machine 608

i think 423 has had more mileage on railtours than on Freight workings, i hope its not 423 i want to add 2 more to my signature below not 1

For those who still need 37087; you won't have to wait very long and the wait will be Worth it.

If the guy who was talking to me in the Royal Oak Saturday night was right my information concurs with yours, although you won't be getting it on the mainline.

 

[Ferret]

Question is, what were you doing in the Royal Oak, and does Flanders know?

Was told on Thursday that there are still a few i's to be dotted and t's to be crossed before it happens. Nobody should need 37087 anyway, it worked at the KWVR last year, and at one time was so common around Inverness that it was practically 37487!

 

[37412]

Well at the time I was discussing 37087 I was actually reserving some seats as Gary had done the beerex to Oxenhope with everyone else so there was not that many in there other than Worksop, me and a few others who got off the train, it all turned to chaos when the bus turned up from Oxenhope though and started on the karaoke I was actually on the phone to flanders in there as i was charging up my phone at the same time

 

[Ferret]

Lol! Tell me you didn't indulge in the karaoke - sounds like it had potential to be horrendous to me....!

 

[37401]

57601 on the back....

 

[37412]

If I did I don't remember it......considering the beerex was due to cape at Oxenhope at 2200 and we went to the indian after the pub where we only just made as it was last orders at 2330 I can't recall what happened in the intervening hour and a half. I do remember leaving the indian at 0045ish and the taxi was a people carrier with remote control sliding doors which was pretty hell!

It would appear that this tour is now sold out in all classes

Does anyone know what coaches will be on The Kernow Growler and i'm guessing it will be the Ocean Liner Express coaches

As per 33011, we are sold out in all classes. many thanks to everybody who has booked, it should be a cracking day.
