I think it's in the queue behind 30777. Some initial work has been done to remove tubes etc (I think) but the focus is on getting 30777 up and...
Depends which comes first: the reconnection to the network - or the boiler coming back from Tyseley. Could be a close call :-)
Juts wondered if there is any update on this loco? I know the GCR had a 'viewing day' in late Jan and I think potential bidders had until the end...
...and I bet the 9F was facing the wrong direction too :-)
Just following up on this, and the shed team at Loughborough provide excellent weekly updates on all the work going on via their Facebook page...
The boiler's been due back 'soon' or 'any day now' or 'imminently' for about two years now. Hopefully it will indeed be back, errm, 'soon' :-)
Thanks - but which direction will the buses be facing? :-) (Lights blue touchpaper and retires to a safe distance...)
Confirmation that the 3 x GWR visitors will be running this weekend on a 45-min timetable......
Just an update today from the GCR Shed Works FB page (always an excellent page to follow)... "It’s starting to look like a gala! GWR 6695 had a...
I understand there's a chance another loco (steam) could yet be added to the roster for the gala this weekend. A few ifs, buts and maybes, but...

Great to see so many positive comments of support, but I see that the Environment Agency (EA) has objected on flood risk issues. I don't think...
92214 now rolled out in unlined black. (Credit to FB page)
So it should be out in the new livery for the Winter Gala 27th-29th Jan - without the silly name too :-)
A statement this morning from the GCR to announce that 92214 is to remain at the railway. It appears to have been purchased from the existing...
Good news re the A60 bridge replacement project. All going ahead and completed by October......
Re the new (or relocated) engine shed, I suspect that the pandemic stalled the plans announced a couple of years ago - but I also suspect that...
Ahead of the Winter Gala (starting tomorrow) it's great to see that Std 2 78018 has had a repaint and looks the business. Image courtesy of the...
Update : Just seen that the GCR have had to withdraw Black 5 45305 from the event. It's not for mechanical reasons: they have a blackbird nesting...
