    44871 at Piccadilly awaiting departure

    Bahamas on the SVR looked immaculate as always, turned out with yellow cabside stripe and red backed smokebox and shedplates for Peachy

    I hope I'm not out of order saying this, this train is being run in memory of Steve Peach, a long standing volunteer and engineer with BLS with the proceeds going to Maggies cancer support charity. I would like to suggest that everyone out photographing it and all those who have appreciated the locomotive consider making a donation themselves. Without people like Peachy there would be no main line steam.

    The Mancunian railtour name and Headboard refer to the specific and very special Mancunian Steve Peach aka Peachy

    If anyone has any photos or footage of Bahamas, 44871 and or The Mancunian railtour that they'd feel able to let the Bahamas Locomotive Society have and use please 'start a conversation' with me.
