    NG15 No.120 news (5/2/09)

    James Hewett (Chairman WHHR) reports: The Anglo-Franco-Belge NG15 locomotive No.120 (2667 of 1949) has been purchased by a member of the WHR Ltd. It will be restored at a private site with the intention that it will run on Welsh Highland Railway Ltd services in the future. No date has been set for its return to steam

    No no Neil…. Just thinking of possible options as they seem to be hinting that the loco will return to the line once restored.

    I wonder whether 120 will be rebuilt as was, of whether it'll also adopt the modifications (e.g. tender) that will be made to 134? :-k
