Well, yesterday's diesel day was a bit of a disaster. The services started late at 12 instead of the posted 10, due to a problem with the 47's ETH. The 20 refused to start, blocking in the maroon stock, so the 25 soldiered on with an under-refurbishment Carmine&Cream set. Then, the 66 was required to be used on a works train to try and get the Kingsford-Togton section of the line re-opened, so the 58 was put on the demo goods instead. This left the 08, and a cold VT set. In the end, the 47 was used on the VT set, but with the generator van in use, meaning that the services culd only be half the posted time. The 08 soldiered on with the brake van rides using the Toad, and in the end, the 0F and he Pannier Tank were used to haul the Blue/Grey set, simply to keep up with the demand.
So, all in all, trains are mainly going to be using the 25, A4, and Pannier for the forseeable future. Members will fnd out any developments first, so if you're not yet signed up, then drop us a line at kingsfordstation@gmail.com
Thanks,
Jack
