I know the IOW Terriers and Calbourne are air-only, is 41313 also air-only or dual braked?

 

I believe both Ivatt Tanks are dual braked.

41313 should definitely be dual braked - it worked at the East Somerset Railway for a few months prior to movement to Isle of Wight shortly after returning from restoration

 

The Ivatt tank is capable of being swapped from air to vac and this has been done to enable it to haul our carriages. The move of the Ivatt to the mainland is expected to start on Monday, the O1 is being moved in the middle of next week. 257 Squadron is on its way back from KESR this week.

 

Yes, a welcome addition.
Their will also be an SR branch line weekend with 65 and 41313 the week after

 

A passing question led to a quick shunt to get No. 828 on 4 road Sunday afternoon. The result: three 0-6-0 tender locomotives in a line as Douglas (masquerading as C class No. 31592) arrived, with No. 65 waiting in the loop.

 

Any chance of seeing 31592 in that lovely SECR livery @3855? Asking for a friend.

 

Surely you mean the real 592 in unlined BR Black
