The spare pannier boiler is in bridgnorth yard as it has been since it came off 7714. I don't think any work has been undertaken on it. On a separate note, 4150 hauled it's first passenger train in preservation today, double heading with 7714.

I have read on social media that Class 50 50026 Indomitable is due to be visiting the railway shortly (although it doesn't say when this will be and the loco appears to still be at Horsted Keynes on the Bluebell at the moment). Is the visit to...
