    Good to see that the theft received TV coverage on BBC South although obviously not the circumstances where useful publicity was welcome.

    Thanks from ERPS for all the messages of support and encouragement as well as donations via facebook.
    It's early days in the recovery from the theft, but we hope to get 828 back in traffic as soon as we can.

    Cheers, Neil

    As a member of the team currently overhauling 828, I would like to echo Neil's comments.

    Whilst we're still somewhat shocked, the fact that so many people have posted messages of support, encouragement and donated so generously has really lifted our spirits. We continued to make progress on 828s new smokebox last weekend and will not let the thieves destroy our society and everything that we have achieved. 828 will steam again!

    It is very gratifying for us to see how much support there is out there for ERPS and 828. Thank you.

    Just a polite reminder about the 'message, not discussion' rules on this thread. The above posts are present for obvious reasons but please take any wider discussion to the Steam Traction or Heritage Railway/MHR threads.
