    We are delighted to announce that Ferrybridge No.3, mentioned previously on this forum (http://railways.national-preservati...e-No3-quot-Wee-Yorkie-quot-Passes-Boiler-Test) was returned to service today.

    Locomotive Ferrybridge No.3 ran her first train this lunchtime after an 18-month restoration project following over 30 years out of service.

    A dramatic photograph of her inaugural run can be found here:

    Thanks also: a lot of people (not me, I just watched in amazement) did a lot of hard work in a comparatively short time. Thanks also for comment about the picture, I'm sure there will be many more to come in the next few weeks.

    Great news (much better than an 8F IMHO) and a great photo too if I may say so.
