As regards 82045. It's never good form to give a completion date, as there are so many variables and unknowns. She will be ready when she is ready. It is possible however to say that when the great day eventually arrives, there are already plans...

Paul42 liked RichardSalmon's post in the thread Bluebell Railway General Discussion.
Roger, No, we have 4 Bulleid brakes at the Bluebell (in addition to two at Swanage and two at Mid Hants) so even if the bits did survive (which they don't) there'd be no point. 2515 and 2526 also have the larger frame sections, and the two BRCW...
