    Mention of 9220 takes me back to 1973 and repainting it from its original weather beaten BR maroon into Carmine and cream. I carried out the work initially in the platform at Bridgnorth but finished it in the bay at Hampton Loade. Happy days :)

    Dont worry Gary. Hugh reminds us almost weekly of the early days at Bridgnorth.

    I don’t think that I had the luxury of painting indoors at Bridgnorth until Andy Williams and I built the paint shop in about 1980ish.

    4545 has been sold to the film company behind the new Harry Potter tv series and left the railway in August. Upon completion of filming the railway will have first refusal on buying it back should we have or feel the need to.

    Thanks very much for the info, I did wonder whether it was the coach which had a quick repaint and left Kidderminster by low loader

    SVR Gala wise….All was well with 813 today, and another say of testing tomorrow just to ensure it’s absolutely fine will take place.

    Tickets sales are over 300 ahead of this point last year and looking really well. It’s very positive financially.

    7714 will turn on Saturday, 13268 will trip back to Bridgnorth on Sunday, and that’s nearly all home fleet engines in place. Just 1450 to arrive back, plus the visitors.
