Gav106 replied to the thread 6880 Betton Grange.
So 6880 acquired the spare wheels from the SVR. These were then found to have defects in them, and back when 6880 were planning to go mainline they decided to swap them with 5199s set so it wouldn't restrict them.

An excellent day. A timetable that worked well; very friendly, informative and chatty staff, volunteers and others; excellent food provision at Tenterden; and a wonderful display by the very large bumble bees frequenting the fairly small, but...

cymroglan liked Gladiator 5076's post in the thread [Jun 7, 2024] Strictly Bulleid 2 7th-9th of June at Swanage Railway (Swanage Railway).

big.stu liked The Green Howards's post in the thread Tornado.
