There were more available this afternoon (I got two), maybe they are releasing them in batches

Does anyone know the current status/location of 720562 please? It does seem to have been in circulation for some months. Thanks in advance

08825 at the Chinnor and Princes Risborough Railway is in Network Southeast livery, but I'm not sure if it carried it before preservation.

47367 arrived mid August. D1502 was early September I think. 47367 is a bit rough, and may only turn out to be a source of spares, D1502 is in better condition (it was in use this weekend), but the last I heard it had a few electrical issues requiring attention.

They are usually on the hour, but ask at the Fifty Fund stand to be sure.

37518 looks to be the WCRC loco

37423 now added

I visited the Dean Forest Railway last weekend (unaware of the incident), but did notice that there were lots of silver painted footbridge components laid out near the track. A few parts were at St Marys, but most were near Lydney Junction. They all looked in good condition, like a Meccano kit...

224 was out on test today (Beckton to Stratford Int). Visible in the depot were 238, 211 and 203

Hood is currently out of action - it's donated its fuel tank to Defiance and has issues with crank seals. Not expected to be running for a while.

The convoy of locos is expected to leave Princes Risborough at about 11:00 tomorrow - I cant see anything timetabled, but this is what we we're told at Chinnor this afternoon. EDIT: Running as 0E50, timed to depart Princes Risborough CE sidings at 1151

Almost certain that's Hood, 50031

Yes, it's 810004

66315 was on Peterborough GBRF depot today, easily visible from passing trains. The depot building looks like it might be shut up for Christmas. 08632 and 66311 also visible.
