silversteellady liked Axe +1's post in the thread Bagnall 4-4-0 Sir George Newnes (WB2891 formerly Charles Wytock).
Earlier this month on Saturday 11th June, Bagnell 2819 was hauled out of Woody Bay shed to expose the engine in its newly applied livery and how close it is to returning to service. This photo image is borrowed from Facebook...... [IMG]
