    Saw a lot of photos from the weekend. Hopefully the Strathspey management have confidence to pick up events like this again. LMS BTK 27043 has returned after contract overhaul and looks mint. Photo credits to Graham Maxstone

    Yes it was. Good news for the owners (M&GN Society) and for the shed team who have put a lot of work into the engine recently. Sent from my moto g85 5G using Tapatalk
