    I think there was something in one of the recent SLL updates that said they were restoring, or helping with the restoration of the loco. I could be mistaken though!

    We left on time, had a superb run, but not non-stop, stopped outside Horsted and in the platform at Kingscote. Arrived slightly late due to waiting for down train at Kingscote. The Awake the Giant Fund stand have a barrel of Harveys Old Ale, had...

    4253 should be next year, all things being equal. Boiler is off for what is hoped will be the final time, for the ashpan to be fitted, and associated works. Can only presume that, as no mention of 68078 arriving at TWW has been made, that it's...
