3 tanks Haworth Yard 11-0-10
Its the Thursday before the gala and everything has been coaled, watered and is (more or less) ready; a warming fire has been placed in 80002 as the first loco out next day. The N2 is on the pit for completion of its examination and a steam test.
Braziers are in place around the locos, ready for yet another hard frost.
Pity the steam raiser who is on duty at 4 am (not me!) and who has to grovel around in the dark emptying ashpans and lighting fires.
