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.

As I said above, but seem to need to repeat…. It is funded through the WMRE. It’s a really joined up, collaborative scheme which is designed to test the water. There’s no loser in it at all. SVR get paid to run it as a contract job, so can’t...

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...
