    Loco needs extensive boiler work (possibly new firebox) before it can be steamed again. Various options being explored.

    Shame as she's a wonderful little engine, had many happy hours on her at Swanage.

    Wasn't this the engine that was offered for sale to Pete Waterman and then the sale fell through because the ownership was contested by others?

    Thanks for your replies Nigel it is indeed a shame that it seems a neglected loco and a rare one as it was originally cabless .ive tries to get in touch with them at the website but to no avail
