    The Ivatt Locomotive Trust's Hunslet Austerity 'Juno', 3850 of 1958, has been moved from the Buckinghamshire Railway Centre to Havenstreet, Isle of Wight Steam Railway. 'Juno' joins the trust's other locomotives at Havenstreet, Ivatt Class 2 41298/313 and 46447. This locomotive last steamed at Quainton Road in the early seventies and has been stored out of use ever since. Future plans for the locomotive on the Isle of Wight are not yet known.

    Crikey - Ajax, Invincible, Calbourne, 2 terriers, 3 Ivatts and now 3 Austerities... that's pretty impressive!
