    The loco is back inservice at Bo'ness minus its water tank for now.
    The STG loco will be running at Bo'ness until its new bogies are available for mainline running again.

    Dont know if many have been watching the Quest series, with Francis Bourguois and Chris Harris, but another way to expose preservation to the masses.

    Please do not pre-judge, as the pairs efforts do make a tangible difference to the project.

    Series link online is here, wont spoil it for anyone, but easy watching, has some good bits, and Harris, is a funny bloke.

    The series with Francis and Chris has been very well received with very little negative comments.
    I would love the production company to put together a compilation of the outtakes.
    The last seven or eight months have been a pleasure and hilarious to work work with this team along with all of the volunteers at Bo'ness.

    Onwards and upwards with 37025 and the SRPS Mark 1 CDL fitted coaches.
