    Sybil Mary, HE 921 of 1906, moved under her own power this afternoon, for the first time in 58 years.

    She has been restored to full lined Penrhyn livery.

    She will be in action on our Enthusiast Day on the 23rd of March.

    Great, another fine restoration I am sure. I am also very impressed with the Hudswell Clarke locomotive which appears in this month's Steam Railway, although I am not sure I quite understand description of the extension!

    I was lucky enough to bump into Henry at Paddington today and got a sneak peak at video of Sybil Mary under steam and photos of the Hudswell Clarke. Oh boy, they both look good. Their next open day should be a corker.

    Joe, the address is the same as on the web site and it is only £8 for a ticket (not bad seeing there will be lots of locos in steam) The next open day is March 23rd, then there is one June 1st and then September 14th.
    There is also a I/C day which I think is in July
    Hope this helps....

    As Ian states the "Diesel Day" has had to be moved to the 3rd of August.

    The forms are now on the website, we were having problems :-(

    Any difficulties please email me on:-
