    I can see from Facebook that Bagnall Empress is to take up residence at Blaenavon and will be in action at this event.

    Congratulations to all at the P & B looks like a very sensible purchase of a good loco with some years left on the ticket.

    Regards

    Matt

    TVR No.85 in action on the Saturday. This was my first time seeing her and I am very impressed. She is one hell of a machine!
