Postman Prat Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 A lot of members of this forum (LC&DR in particular) will be pleased to learn that 35006 Peninsular & Oriental has, in the last few days, moved under it's own power for the first time since 1964. After withdrawal it went to Barry and, after removal in 1983, it went to the Gloucester & Warwickshire Railway at Toddington Further information can be found on the Gloucester & Warwickshire website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkingthedog Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 That's good, I believe there are about 11 in existence, is that right PP. Would be quite a sight to see them all together in steam In the future.......except Ellerman Line of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fazy Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Might have a problem with 35209. Sorry re-read your post and see you have already mentioned her Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkingthedog Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Nothing that a bit of tin foil and plasticard can't put right fazy. I'm sure Gowest can repair it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graskie Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Funnily enough, I'm sure Hornby won't mind if I say I've got a free ticket for myself from the blue box company's collectors club to attend a special day at that railway on Saturday 5th September. As a matter of interest, anyone else going? I look forward to seeing that loco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, I hope to be at the North Norfolk that weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCDR Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Thanks PP, I get to see 35029 and 34051 quite a lot, but it is good to hear about others. The G&W do seem to be going places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graskie Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Seriously, I hope to be at the North Norfolk that weekend Glad I'm going in a totally different direction then, PP. Really, don't enjoy yourself too much, will you? We can perhaps swap a few pics, though, afterwards, if yours are any good....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Postman Prat Posted August 16, 2015 Author Share Posted August 16, 2015 Quote "........... The G&W do seem to be going places." From one end to the other !!!! Seriously, they are steadily heading for Broadway. As far as I know it's just a matter of a couple of bridges and a few miles of track. That's all!!!!! You don't see a lot of 'high profile' items in the press etc but they're quietly 'beavering away' It's a nice railway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
