I believe it’s public knowledge now that the WD has had an extension to its boiler ticket taking it through to January 2028. Must be handy as I believe 4277 will be leaving next year? Thought the return of the B12 and Ring Haw could be on the...

Johnme101 liked free2grice's post in the thread SVR Loco Newsy News / discussions.
I've just enjoyed 80 miles of steam haulage today behind Erlestoke Manor at the WSR. It is a superb locomotive and handled the banks with ease. It certainly is a very popular loco with the WSR crews. [BJ]
