    Latest update to the76084 website says that they hope to complete this engine towards the end of 2012, so hopefully we'll be seeing it on the NYMR in 2013. After that, they're going to get stuck into the Turkish 8F.

    This will be a good addition to the "fleet." I hope something can be done sometime regarding 76077 at Toddington as this too would be a useful asset for the GWSR. I was under the mistaken impression that these 4MTs never ran on the original GWR Honeybourne Line in BR days but there is photographic evidence to show that they did! They were never WR allocated locos though.

    You are correct that none were allocated to W.R. sheds, but some were at Oxley, Stourbridge Jct and Croes Newydd during 1965 and 1966. These sheds were in the L.M.R. during this period.
