    Yes I am an active volunteer
    It's taken a lot longer than originally planned but a fire has been lit in 1466's boiler under going overhaul at the WSR. Hopefully the loco will be back in steam at Didcot in the not too distant future.

    Taken by a rather young Steve B on a Brownie 127! Taken at Cholsey and Moulsford (as it was then).
