I'm sorry to disappoint you, but 6024 had a hot box last Sunday at Taunton and will be unavailable for the Gala. 42968 has replaced her according to National Preservation. She will remain at WSR for repair to the front axle box before resuming her duties later from Bristol Barton Hill.

thnaks to everyone for your kind remarks about our locomotive. Videos of her and others out on the mainline can be reached via my website:

Thanks for the info Shirley. Was looking forward to seeing him on Saturday but another time!

Hope it doesn't take too long to sort.

Best wishes,
