    So, according to the video, the Ruston is going to the 'Peak Rail Workshops'. I sincerely hope that it is not the workshop controlled by the lady who cannot be named. I've never forgotten the promised restorations of Zebedee and The Duke. Both of whom are now resident on other lines after waiting years for a pledged Peak Rail Workshop overhaul.

    It isn't in the Rowsley workshops Jamie, it's moved down to Darley Dale to my workshop, but under the ownership of Jordan Thompson (on Facebook look for Thompson Locomotive Collection). It will get restored in due course, once Jordan has finished his first loco, and then the Rustons will be done.
