Any chance of the 08 being used on brake vans at some point? I presume it's not operational at present?

Is the 46 still under the tarpaulin? Will some of it be lifted off for the event? Cheers.

46035 has been in the open for the past couple of weeks - visible from Tesco coffee shop!

I believe it blew off in the wind!

Is the 08 actually operational?

The 08 is Stored Pending Overhaul. It is actually owned my LNWR Heritage Co and not us.

Thanks. Is that the firm that Jeremy Hosking bought off Waterman?

 

[CreweHeritage]

That is correct.

So we are pleased to announce that it will be running on brakevan rides this weekend for our modern traction gala. We would like to thank all the team who has helped and supported the project. Here's to many happy years!
