The CFPS volunteers have been busy at the ELR today working on D345 getting the loco ready for next Saturday & the Pathfinder charter on the 19th October. CFA loco 40 012 was also run up today.
A major milestone was achieved over the weekend with the ongoing repairs to get 40 135 back in good health. The power unit has been removed ready for the next stage of having the crankshaft swapped. Thanks to the CFPS volunteers and the ELR for all the hard work.
Today, the Class 40 Preservation Society held their ‘Members Day’ for 2023… with @cfpsnews own D345 and the Class Forty Appeal’s 40012 ‘Aureol’ performing in various combinations on an additional diagram.
50015 ‘Valiant’ was also in operation on the normal Diesel Service.
**EXTRA TICKETS**

A fab #Dieselgala on the @WSomRailway Big thanks to all who made it happen, all the WSR volunteers, @wsrdepg @WizzerTweet @DelticPS Lee Robbins and all the loco groups who pitched in. Here’s to the next one!
@DelticPS Huge thanks for bringing #55009 to the @WSomRailway for the Gala. You guys put in massive hours to make this happen and it was superb to see Alycidon on the WSR gradients. The last trip was Epic! Safe journey back.
