I thought, and hoped, this might happen Tony

I was looking forward to going to see the Saint last year at SVR then the World went belly up. It's a rare event to be able to see a class that we've not had the chance to see before

Hopefully. I'll be in a position to visit this time round, vaccine roll out and travel restrictions permitting.

I've not seen anything that looks or sounds like a steam loco since this time last year. No doubt there are quite a few Forum members in a similar situation I hope we are all able to get back to enjoying our hobby very soon
