I do hate top and tailing though. It looks very poor photographically. I'm sure that the pointwork will be operational by then, even if it is with local hand levers and hand signalling.

It MUST be either 2807 or Foremarke Hall, but obviously the company will make the final decision. Remember also that there will be a lot of media attention to this event, so there's even more reason to use a steam loco.Aardvark11https://www.blogger.com/profile/13090938730424120909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8914276256646518799.post-86933953441101835222017-09-22T15:02:24.146+01:002017-09-22T15:02:24.146+01:00I,think,the 1st steam loco,to arrive at Broadway,s...I,think,the 1st steam loco,to arrive at Broadway,should be 2807!.An Edwardian loco,entering a newly reconstructed Edwardian station!.

By the time that you are ready to lay track through the platforms, The scaffolding will be gone. Good timing.<br />Interesting to see the other work done with the loco dept. as well.
