    Boscastle will be on the move...travelling to Quorn for display during the Winter Gala (Jan 27 - 29th). It will be 50 years since the locomotive arrived at the GCR from Barry.

    Boscastle is back in the locomotive shed at Loughborough and there has been more finishing work done to the tender pipework.

    There has been more work done on the tender pipework and lots of time has been spent on trying to source replacement parts for those which were stolen last year.
    Boscastle will again be moved to Quorn for the 50th Anniversary Event June 17/18th. There will be a large photographic display and two or three guides available to talk about the engine and the work being done.
