andyram Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Great to hear that 6201 will be on service trains. That is a real bonus. Nice to see two months steam engines in use rather than the diesel dominated services of recent years. Looking forward the the weekend even more now!

alcoman424 Posted August 9, 2016 Author Share Posted August 9, 2016 It is with regret that due to technical issues 6201 'Princess Elizabeth' will now not be running at the Railex as previously released. The service trains will still feature the Prairie tank LT150 and be set up as listed below:- 20 189 (class 20) top and tail with 47 401 LT150 (Prairie tank) top and tail with D182 (Class 46) These formations will be the same for both days. We apologise for the non appearance of 6201 and hope you will all still have an enjoyable visit as the layouts, exhibits and traders are the main feature of the show.
