    Thank you to @William Fletcher and @5944 for your replies and photographs. It is much appreciated. We have since spoken to a member of the trust who saw Rocket every day at Courtaulds as a youngster. He remembers it being dark green (British Racing Green?) with red fames. It would be great if anyone has a photo, but we hope to have Rocket in that livery when she returns in 2026.

    Hi all

    We are proud to announce our steam locomotive for the 2026 season. She certainly hasn’t run on the TSR before, and we don’t think she has ever run in West Midlands before either. Looking forward to seeing her in action



    With thanks to Chris and Simon Theaker

    thanks, Stan
