As part of their recovery plans the railway is putting class 08 D3591 up for sale. This is the locomotive that was used to reconstruct most of the...
Indeed, perhaps not the best deal the SR ever made. After the unforeseen arrivals of 120 and then 563, the railway seems to have lost interest in...
There will be a legal agreement put in place saying the SR can overhaul it, and have use of it for X number of years. So the NRM won’t be able to...

The IOWSR have a donation point in the carriage workshop, where it encourages you to swipe your contactless card to make a donation of a certain...
