There is to be a meeting of King class locomotive 6023 'King Edward II' painted in blue with Fowler Showmans Road Loco 15653, at this event. A wonderful photographic opportunity. A date and time for this event is still to be set but as soon as I hear it, it will be on here be sure of it.
I can also confirm that the 1898 Gavioli organ restored by the Howard Bros will be on show for the first time since 1923.
It looks like being a great show, one not to be missed! :D
