Apologies for posting in English.

The Line Up

Bocq Railway Residents

5183, 5205, 7305 and 7402 will fall in wherever needed.

Guests

NMBS 29.013 [steam locomotive]

A Lineas 77/78

A DBC 6400 - A Vlaamse Reuzen

A TVM fitted HLD 55 - This TVM HLD 55 is subject to availability.

Two Standard HLD 55s - TUC Rail will be attending with 5528 and 5540. 5540 has been chosen as it is the last blue 55 in service and the Bocq want to recreate a Liège - Luxembourg IR with I6 coaches, I assume an ets supply is needed for the I6 stock. 5540 will get fresh paint work thanks to the same volunteers as worked on 5528 last year. 5528 is no longer in the active TUC Rail fleet and I assume was removed from service as it's main line ticket had expired.

There is the possibility that the remaining TUC 55s will be withdrawn at the end of 2019. As no one is running railtours in Belgium at the moment, this may be the last opportunity to ride behind a Type 55 that is not TVM fitted.

The invited electrics are a DB Cargo 186, a Lineas 186 and NMBS/SNCB 18. These will be rotating day by day with each taking turns to stand at Ciney under the wires and the other days at Spontin in the bay platform. Cab visits will be organised.

Stock will be M1 and M2 coaches. with negotiations on going to get two extra M2s from NMBS Patrimonium [museum]. The Bocq intend to borrow 3 x I6 coaches to recreate the Liege - Luxemburg workings along with 5540.
