    Latest news from SLL is that, at Herston, Brocklebank's cab frame is virtually completed and new platework is being added. The frames, at Sellindge, have had some work done but Sidmouth's frames have been the priority for grit blasting and painting.
    The boiler will need a new front tubeplate and front lower "D" patch to the front boiler barrel - where water had pooled over the years. As said before though, the rest of the boiler is in good condition.

    More has been added to the cab as the roof ventilator has been completed and tested. The bare mechanism can be seen in the above picture.

    There is an update about Brocklebank and the rest of the SLL fleet on the Southern Locomotives website.

    There was a comment somewhere about the lack of any recent Ex Barry completions. It is great that the SLL will be having two in the next few years (Brocklebank and Sidmouth). Well done to the teams involved.

    There is another update, on the SLL website, which is about a steam video to support Ukrainian children.

    Also from SLL website, the outside of 35025's tender has been receiving some attention at Sellinge, so that it is well protected over the winter.

    Work on the frames of Brocklebank is continuing at Sellinge. The cab has been finished and is going to Margate for display in the 1 to 1 collection. This is a good way of keeping it under cover and it is going to be a useful interactive display item. It will be finish painted when installed.

    There have been more updates on the SLL website but work is continuing on the frames with needle gunning and rust treatment. Another Bulleid was due to arrive at Sellinge "Sir Frederick Pile". There is now an even larger team working at Sellinge!
