When DS238 Wainwright last returned to steam, the original thought was to repaint it in this livery. However, some bright spark suggested that we do the Longmoor livery instead. Rumour has it that the green paint has been in store ever since!

Not quite back yet, but 1420 has been spotted outside the shed at Buckfastleigh in lined BR green.

No 1T57 reporting numbers today. The smokebox has been adorned with a wreath for Remembrance Day. A nice touch and most appropriate. <BJ>

For once, Muggin's 'Ere wasn't atop the hill on Saturday, only Me Oppo & Nipper were! They had a short working day removing the final sections of condemned cladding from the south side of the workshop PMV. Instead, Muggin's did visit that neck...

I see from a post on Instagram that 30506 is now turned to face country after her visit to the ELR. This will provide some new photo opportunities with the S15. Sent from my XQ-BT52 using Tapatalk

I think the general idea is that 30053,120 and 563 will be used fairly evenly in future. 120 and 53 are both very capable of running everything we do, but 563 is harder work on a 5 coach train. Very capable engine but you have to be realistic,...

You won't see much of it - both piston glands are leaking quite badly. [ATTACH] Screen grab from a video of today's photo charter with it.

I don't think that the USA tank lasted in service until the very end. It seems to have been laid up in April 67, while 80151 succumbed in the May of that year. It therefore seems that Clan Line will be the only currently active loco to have...
