    Does anybody have any information on the current status with 50021, I know it is at Tysley but when I visit (which was a few months ago) or look at pictures online it looks worse and worse.

    I have tried looking for websites but apart from finding the owning group being "50021 Loco Association" I have found nothing else.

    I would be interested to know the work that is being carried out, or what the owning group plans for the loco?

    Thank you for any information.
    Jimmy

    Its been 'under repair' for a long time. I believe that the main shareholder lives in the US these days. You may get more info on the WNXX.com forum (But a thick skin may be necessary before posting on there!)

    It's a shame to see it like this. I remember the superb condition it was in when it was at the GWR. Apart from a stint at the Boness & Kinneil railway this was the only time the engine saw service. I hope that Rodney sees some action in the not to distant future.
