ListerFest Update….A steady stream of locomotives and other exhibits have been arriving on the site during the day. Subject to mechanical condition, we are hoping that every loco will get a run on the passenger train at least once during the weekend. The plan for SATURDAY is as follows:-
From 1000 to 1130, passenger trains will be worked by the following locos:-
– 29890 from the West Lancs
– 39005 from the Tanat Valley
– 3834 from Mr Faulkner
– 34523 from the North Gloucs Railway
From 1130 to 1400, trains will alternate between Listers and “Stanhope”. Listers which will work in this period are:-
– 52885 (MRT)
– 52886, courtesy Mr Rees
– 56371, from Mr Faulkner
– 52610 (MRT)
– 50888 (MRT)
From 1400 to 1500, “Stanhope” will work all passenger trains while all available Listers take part in the Grand Parade.
From 1500 to 1700, Listers will alternate with Stanhope, with last steam train 1600 (after 1600, Listers only). Locos working in this period are planned to be:-
– 33650, from Mr Faulkner
– 34521, from Amberley
– 8022, from Mr Mr Faulkner
– Keef 4 (MRT) – last train due to extreme slowness!
Compared to previously produced updates, sadly 41803 has suffered a failure and will not be attending. However, a number of additional locos are now arriving. Only one way to find out what they are!
