    According to the Plym Valley Railway Facebook page, 30075 has arrived at Plym Valley Railway.

    No word when it will be in service, but it will be on display this weekend at the Transport Weekend.

    Well, it shouldn't develop too may hot boxes there. It's not very far from Okehampton where it last worked passenger trains.

    I was intrigued by the Shillingstone Facebook post about it going somewhere yesterday, and then intrigued even more when it came past me on the opposite side of the M5 this morning as I headed up to the WSR. My first thought was that it was appropriate it was heading towards Meldon, too!

    So that potentially gives the Plym Valley three working steam locos with the Tkh and Albert too, assuming the Tkh isn't away for long?

    Very interested to see when 30075 will be running as I'll definitely be up for sampling that at the PVR, which is always a lovely line to visit (though every time I've been free to in the last year or so it's been coincidentally a Pacer running and they're not for me).

    The TKH has gone on loan elsewhere I believe- saw a reference to the South Devon Railway, don't know if that's correct.
