    Manston was lifted again today and the re-assembled bogie is back underneath.
    Engine and tender will be reunited on Monday, boiler filled etc. By Wednesday Manston should be trundling around the Works yard.

    Manston is back together and has been trundling around Eastleigh Works yard this week. Doing some corporate driver experience for Eastleigh Works customers.

    We have not set a date for return to Swanage yet, still some cylinder lubrication issues to be resolved.

    All repairs now complete, as far as we can tell. Should hear back from West Coast with a date early this week, for transit move to Swanage.

    Manston's move back to Swanage, by rail. Towed in light steam by a suitable diesel locomotive; will take place during week commencing 20th July. No date or times yet.
