Our new Black 5 in the final round of painting, with final reassembly planned for, hopefully, mid April. The loco’s nameplate, numbers and LMS logo on tender, will all be in place soon.
Then the loco will be taken around to the park, where the commissioning process will start and after several weeks of works she should be ready for passenger hauling.
Our Holmside has also been reassembled, for the first time in many years 🎉
The boiler has been hydraulically tested, next will be steam and running testing to ensure her fitness for purpose 👍🏻
A big thank you 🙏🙏 to all who have worked long and hard 💪🏻 on these locos to bring them to this stage, almost ready to head to the park and pull their weight 🏋🏻
