Mr Brunel Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Superb, thank you! By the way, is there any chance the smokebox door of 6697 could be opened? I need some pictures of the inside of a 56XX's smokebox for a project I'm doing... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Castle Posted June 12, 2017 Author Share Posted June 12, 2017 Hi Sam, I'm sure we can arrange something! It might have to wait for the end of the tour but as long as that is ok, I'm sure we can sort that for you. All the best, Castle Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackthorn Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Damn and Blast! I had completely missed this thread......it might have changed our plans for our trip home. We did get to Didcot at the end of may, amazing place and took soooooo many pictures. Also got to Steam in Swindon too, oh and the NRM........ Hope everyone has a good day tomorrow. Mark.

Liam Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Hi Drew Many thanks for a brilliant tour today, thoroughly enjoyed it. And thank you for allowing me to take with me a lump of proper Welsh steam coal, now I need to get some 16 tonners for it to fill! Thank you once again, Liam 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Castle Posted July 30, 2017 Author Share Posted July 30, 2017 No problem Liam! We all really enjoyed showing everyone around today. See you again soon! All the best, Castle 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted July 30, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 30, 2017 Another excellent day thanks Drew and Ally and Lee did a grand job (including proving that 4079 isn't the only engine at Didcot undergoing restoration/overhaul ) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Fatadder Posted July 30, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 30, 2017 Very enjoyable afternoon, thanks again for showing us around. Already looking forward to next year, going to bring along no1 daughter for the signal box and the shed (though the coach shed will be a little much I think) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold 96701 Posted July 30, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 30, 2017 Many thanks to all the people who showed us round, helped out and generally contributed to what turned out for me a very informative and enjoyable day. I just had to retire after the workshop tour, so missed the C&W, turntable and broad gauge. Please run it again next year so that I can catch up on those bits. It was great to see a blue King close up as well. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clearwater Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Very enjoyable afternoon, thanks again for showing us around. Already looking forward to next year, going to bring along no1 daughter for the signal box and the shed (though the coach shed will be a little much I think) I took my 4yo around the carriage shed last year - he was fine... he had a party this year so couldn't make it. Sorry I didn't get to meet you Rick earlier - we must have been in different groups. A "me too" post echoing Stationmaster. Many thanks to Drew for organising and to Ali, Lee and Laura for their tour of the workshops David Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Castle Posted July 30, 2017 Author Share Posted July 30, 2017 Hi All Another excellent day thanks Drew and Ally and Lee did a grand job (including proving that 4079 isn't the only engine at Didcot undergoing restoration/overhaul ) Cheeky! What can I say? I'm kind of attached to the old girl... Thanks for all the kind comments everyone - the gang and I are pleased you all had fun.
