There's a lot of rumours about high profile visitors, nothing concrete though. The Austerity was due to be back in traffic last week, but it failed on a test run to Heywood, don't know why. The Yank is back at Churnet, don't think it's coming back to the East Lancs. Obviously LYR 1300 is still out after the incident at the last war weekend, but I can't really comment on that. And with Ian Riley selling 76079 we're looking very short on motive power for the near future. But, these things seem to sort themselves ut in time for the Santas every year, and the January Gala always has a good selection of engines, so it's a case of watch this space.
