Traction for our four trip running day on the 16th April will be A1A’s Class 31 5580.
5580 at Carrog, 26th March 1971, sorry 2011. We were in the tea room, avin ‘oops.
Traction for the 30th April will most likely be Class 26 D5310, provided that she has returned from the Wensleydale Railway in time. The Type 2 heads North on Monday 4th and we look forward to seeing a few folk up in the land of yummy crumbly cheese next week.
Driver McRoss arrives at ‘Thurso’ on 26th March 1961.
Repairs to 6940 are expected to take a few more weeks and we do not want to overstretch ourselves or rush the work required.
The format for our running days will be as per the last two years; four trips of relaxed trundling up and down the Dee Valley for the price of a normal return ticket, with top scran on offer at both ends of the line.
