There was a little extra space in the exhibition hall
this weekend which gives me the opportunity to
show it off a bit
As locomotives come to the end of their boiler
certificates they enter the KWVR overhaul cycle
First they are brought into the exhibition hall where
they may stay for a while until the workshops at
Howarth are ready for them.
Famous for it's part in the film 'The Railway Children'
The Bayer Peakock built Lanc's and York's 0-6-0
The Stanier 8F has been some time in the exhibition
so we can only hope it is close to it's workshop time
Lovely to see this magnificent beast back in steam
The BR standard class 4 tank has just run out of
ticket and will be going through assessment to
decide what needs to be done before a decision
is made as to when it will be overhauled. It is
a very popular engine and may well go to the
workshop quite soon.
I have no idea of the state of the 8F but sense it
might be in need of a good deal of work judging
by the time it has languished in the exhibition
Don't forget to support the work of the many
volunteers who keep our preserved railways
running
