NYMR spring gala whisper

Post by Tom Quayle »

I herd while at the NYMRs auturm gala they were trying to get 3 A4s for sometime next year (60007, 60009, 60019). This got me thinking what would be your perefect LNER/NYMR gala.
Heres mine
K1 62005/an A4 on the Whitbys
D49 morayshire and Green Arrow double headed on teaks
3 A4 line up on Grosmont shed and platform ends
62005 and 4771 on freight up the bank
Full loco list
62005
60007
60009
60019
4771
Morayshire (cannot remember number)
61264 or 1306
60103 (if it ever looks right agian)
Imagine if Scotsman was outshoped as 60103 if only to line up with the 3 A4s and if we wait long ewnough 60532 Blue Peter

Hang on now time to be a little silly
How this for a line up
60007 (Sir Nigal Gresley)
60009 (Union of South Afica)
60019 (Bittern)
60103 (Flying Scotsman)
60163 (Tornado)
60532 (Blue Peter)
or do you think I should be more pacific

Out of the B1s I would prefer 1306, apple green is a bit more colourful than BR black!

Saw Mayflower last week, she looks really smart in LNER green - would also like to see her with 63395, the Q6 - two of my favourite LNER locos running today

I heard the Q6 should be finished sometime in the 'closed' season, so hopefully it'll be around for the gala
