    Tuesday 8th July saw 3 lifts at Ropley: Replacing Boiler 755 on (30)506; Removing 499's frames from their home under the roof and placing them on the bogie and a trolley; Removing the work-in-progress tender 3223 from its home form the last 4 (?) years and placing it in the space vacated by 499's frames.

    Feels like quite a creative interpretation of ‘back on the rails’ for 499… ;)
