S&D 53809 2-8-0

On my visit to the Midland Railway centre it was

good to see the progress being made on the other

S&D 2-8-0 No 53809

 

 

On that day attention seemed to be with the tender

 

The boiler looked to be complete

 

And the Cylinders too so work progressing well

 

During the summer I was on the West Somerset

and saw their 2-8-0 working 

 

It is of course always a pleasure to get a shed or

MPD visit

 

I am most grateful to the Midland Railway Society

 

53809 should with luck soon be back in steam
