Paul Grant replied to the thread Strathspey Railway.
From what progress had been made when she arrived back at Aviemore to now (via some Covid years), that is a serious shift to get her steaming and moving again. A major credit to the Carmyllie Pilot group and Strathspey's engineering team! I'll...
