    Please does anyone know this engine's whereabouts? It was painted in BR black up to join 32670 at the Kent & East Sussex in June last year to recreate the final train to run from Robertsbridge to Tenterden 50 years earlier. Since then, it seems to have vanished off the scene. Is it back at Bressingham? Are there any visits to other lines planned?

    Saw a pic a while ago of it sat in Bressingham shed. The caption said it had some problem but at the moment i cant remember it.

    I asked earlier this year elsewhere but got no response really. After a bit of searching i discovered she was failed last year at the Bodmin & Wenfords gala due to leaking tubes. She is back at Bressingham and as far as i know has not steamed since last June. Shame really.

    Many thanks, Gentlemen. Mystery solved, although somewhat disappointing news. I hope this doesn't mean we've seen the last of this splendid little machine for the foreseeable future.
