61036 runs off it's train at Pickering

The greatest part of the restoration was the Boiler

It was originally thought a new firebox and boiler

would be needed as the original was in such poor

condition. However hard work during the 80's &

90's saw the original boiler restored and the loco

first moved under it's own steam in1997

 

 

Withdrawn in 2008 for a heavy general overhaul, almost £500,000 has been spent on repairing and renewing 61264's boiler - all funded privately by generous donations and loans from supporters. 


With the overhaul finally completed in December 2012, 61264 was moved to her new long-term home on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway, where she is now a mainstay of the locomotive roster.
