The first involved the Trust’s very own 32678. Knowle has been on the easy list in 2005 for two reasons familiar to many. Firstly the lack of suitable opportunity in the early part of the year due to the timetable scheduling and secondly being trapped in the shed thanks to the blackbirds nesting in Norwegian.

However 32678 did take its turn on the Vintage train again towards the end of June. On 29 June there was the added bonus of this formation working featuring the first working of the day rather than the more usual second service. This offered a rare opportunity for pictures with the sun on the front of the engine - primarily over the border, and particularly at Bodiam.
