    As a volunteer at a small railway museum, I have learned to never underestimate the ability of a small group of volunteers to start with ostensibly the same information sources and arrive at wildly different conclusions when talking to the public! (And the others may well say the same about me.)

    RVR Update.

    The extensive overhaul of RVR owned locomotive 'Charwelton' chassis is now complete thanks to JM Steam Ltd based at the Buckinghamshire Railway Centre. That work included fitting new cylinders. Last Thursday the finished rolling chassis was transferred over to the long established Flour Mill locomotive workshops in Gloucestershire who will look after competition of the loco and its recommissioning ready for putting the engine back into service on the Kent & East Sussex Railway. With the locos new boiler due to arrive at the Flour Mill next week everything will then be on site ready for work to get underway

    Hi Mike, I am not sure what it is about 'Charwelton' that I like as a steam loco; maybe it has something to do with the fact that it is a Manning Wardle. Whatever it is, you guys are doing a fantastic job on her, and I look forward to coming down for a ride behind her at some stage
