Industrial Loco Updates!!

[Hunslet2411]

Cranford No 2 is operational untill after easter this year at which point a full overhaul is planned to take place by the owner.

Does that mean Cranford is likely to be in steam over Easter given thats the next open day?

[Hunslet2411]

It has not been decided yet to be honest! We are hoping to have another loco on loan then.... Will get back to you on this one as its up to the owner how he wants it to see out its ticket. I am hoping it will be in steam for that weekend..!

Was thinking earlier, I'm not sure if '68030''s still in traffic? Otherwise, I can't think of any austerities currently running as pseudo J94s! Should stress I'm only thinking off the top of my head though...

Slightly off topic but nonetheless 2183/15 is rostered for Sunday at the East Lancashire Railway. It will perform alongside 44871 on the light blue timetable.

I have obtained a drawing for the austerity chimney casting for bagnall No. 2746. I shall be seeking quotations for a pattern and series of castings. Is there any interest out there?
