    6960 ran on a light engine on test from Williton towards Stogumber yesterday. All went well, I understand.

    Mr Hosking's 6960 completed a successful loaded test run from Minehead yesterday (Mon 14 Nov), and is now signed up to run on the WSR next year.

    I believe that she is to feature on public trains in the WSRT winter steam festival after Christmas - see the WSR 'unofficial' website.

    7903 isn't out of traffic yet - she was running this weekend and is next too. She has passed her annual boiler test so she will be running all next year and 2013 she behaves herself - and the bolier inspector passes her next year too.
