Thanks for the updates. Is the Beano right about The Meg coming back after overhaul, or is that uninformed speculation? Not that Steam Railway is...
I was told a while ago that a boiler inspector had said that Derek Crouch needed little more than a new set of tubes to get her back into traffic....
It was a very short piece, but the indication was that work was under way.
That's the thing - I'd heard that a Polish enthusiast had bought it. Went to Belgium a couple of years ago.
I was pleasantly surprised to learn from the Beano that the 0-8-0T is to return after overhaul at the Flour Mill. I understood that it had gone...
A recent comment on the IRPs Facebook page suggests that the Swedish B is next in the queue after the Standard 5 (for what a Facebook post is...

Wasn't there also some talk of using the frames for 32424, or am I misremembering?
There were photos in the Beano at the time of the NLR tank working on the extension. I dare say that it was a point of honour to put the engine...
Ah yes. I recalled seeing a photo of the engine in steam in an old stock book, but on reflection it was almost certainly taken at Pilton....
Stamford? No longer on site, but still nominally part of the fleet. I can't remember whether she was ever steamed on the Bluebell or not, although...
