As I understand it the first batch of ten V Class were not fitted with smoke deflectors when new. Subsequent batches were, and the first 10 were retrofitted during 1931. Repton was in the 3rd batch (1934) so should really have the deflectors.

 

I stand ready to be corrected.

Things looked to be going well at the Gala on Saturday. Stations absolutely heaving and all trains seemed to be running more or less to time.

They seemed to be way behind on Friday morning but soon caught up, the timetable looks to be quite generous so they can do this.

It was just a transfer move sweetums, on the back of a train going to Grosmont for a HUGE amount of shunting tomorrow

Fair enough. Saves on a light engine movement at the end of the day as well.

 

Also, a few more screenshots of the gala, firstly at Goathland with the birthday girls climbing up the bank (only cause I missed them leaving Grosmont)

Then 80136 heading the other way,

Before arriving at Grosmont 12 minutes later, with the Bongo waiting in Platform 4,

80136 & B1 Grosmont

 
76079 was next in from Pickering after the B1 had moved to shunt the stock away,

With Repton at the back. Can't help but wonder how long refitting the smoke deflectors would have taken the night before.

926 & B1 Grosmont

 
Next its the two southerners after 34081 had returned from servicing,

34081 & 926

 
And finally, the pair preparing to double head the last train of the day. Slight change from the roster (76079 was the original pilot), but all the same, quite the formidable combo.

926 & 34081 Grosmont

 
Anyone know if the visitors are staying for the War Weekend yet? I know 2857's booked to visit the East Lancs gala the week afterwards. And thinking about it, it would be easier to keep it here until then rather than it going back to Bridgnorth and then going back out again.
