Loco 37042 is being relocated to the Weardale Railway, where the intention is to work towards a return to operation. I've been asked to go along with the loco. On behalf of the owner G.Harris & I we thank you for your patience on any news. IF.

At Warcop on the Eden Valley Railway since 2011, where internal work has been undertaken on it in a piecemeal fashion over the past couple of years.

Sounds positive and would be great to see this one properly operational. I know from the previous videos work so far had been done to get the engine started so hopefully won't be too long.

Perhaps it's about time for them to do a little work on the outside maybe......?
It looks like something from Carnforth cemetery......
