Hi again,

80097:

Our loco continues to operate satisfactorily with only routine issues. We have been in discussion with ELR management and have reached a renewed running agreement going forward. We look forward to our loco playing it's part in providing a real taste of what steam looked like in the golden age of British Railways Steam.

46428:

The rivet removal process on the Ivatt boiler foundation ring continues with good progress being made.

The work required to prove the Ivatt double top feed is now complete. It can be fitted to, and used on the boiler when the time comes.The casting is now in store.

Vanwide:

The vehicle was temporarily fitted with cladding to tidy it up for the recent Rail 200 event. Work is being progressed by Keith and Mick. Well done gentlemen
