Hope the pix of the event are plentiful :-)

Are you certain that Mr Goodmans Pannier #9642(?) is being moved from the GWSR? Apparently it is scheduled for services on the GWSR line this weekend!

I`ll send the boys round to get it back :)
Appears it was quite last minute - I look forward to seeing the opperational photos.
It may not be as clean as usual for Locos leaving the GWSR but it`s a good little engine.
