Hi all

Just to keep you all up to speed. 7821 Ditcheat Manor has been positioned for collection on (i believe) thursday this week to return to the WSR.

7821 Ditcheat Manor

or

7820 Dinmore Manor

 

Sorry should have been 7821. I have ammended this many thanks

 

Presumably without any boiler ticket extension?

 

Thats correct no work has been carried out to the locomotive other than inspections. Im assuming the cost of the extension outweighs the benefits. It is a very very "tired" engine

 

Where shall she be stored? Is it going to be possible to see her over the gala weekends?
Thanks

 

Good question! Not a lot of room for the next couple of weeks!

 

Ditcheat Manor arrive at Williton this afternoon.

 

Thread resurrection.......apologies!

Does anyone know the location/status of Ditcheat Manor?

I have just found some pictures of it going through some old boxes which I *think* must be the early 2000s at the WSR, and it made me think I have not seen/heard anything of 7821 for a long time?

Many Thanks

Chris

 

I believe it is in the Swindon Steam museum on static display. Although, I seem to remember 2015 being mentioned as the year it might move back. Perhaps someone else might remember better!

 

Correct, she is currently on display in the museum and according to her Wikipeadia page (reliable I know) it does say she could be there for up to 5 years from 2010 so it could move back to the WSR this year.
