A small additional reminder - Blythburgh Station Open Day this Sunday 13th September, between 10.30 and 15.45. Everything free, except small charge (£5.00) for the short train ride (almost certainly the shortest heritage railway in the UK!)...

The spare pannier boiler is in bridgnorth yard as it has been since it came off 7714. I don't think any work has been undertaken on it. On a separate note, 4150 hauled it's first passenger train in preservation today, double heading with 7714.

Another workday saw more metal(rust) cut away from the end of B573403. We are still awaiting the new "W" iron for B560676 but have done more prep work and undersealing. A lot of time (and effort!) was spent loading our scrap steel into a skip...

Does anyone know the mechanical condition of pannier tank 5764 as it’s been out of traffic since 2011. How much work would be involved to restore it? In a similar vein, does the SVR still have a spare 57xx pannier boiler and set of wheels?
