It’s been a long time since Ian (olly5764) posted and he hasn’t been on here since January. Is there anyone on here from the SVR who can confirm that Ian is ok? Thanks

The boiler appeal continues to do really well, with just shy of £60k in the bank from our target of 150k. This in only 8 months is really fantastic, we continue to push hard with progress on the locomotive and fund raising. Here is the...

A couple of corrections: You’ve listed 6686 in two categories. If 92219 is categorised as stored, as it is awaiting confirmation of active work, then 2859, 2885, 3855, 5538, 6984, 6686, 48173, 35009 and 92207 should also be in the same category...

An enjoyable day with 34072 today, except my heat intolerance these days meant I had to leave after the fourth of six trains when the heat and humidity significantly exceeded my tolerance limits. A 'through the vegetation shot' at Forge Farm...

3862 moved/sold recently, so would presume restoration will restart at a new site
