Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway's 957 boiler lift
Yesterday was taken up with several lifts around
Haworth Yard
Most notably L&Y 957's boiler was lifted clear
to undergo ten year survey and overhaul
I have a very soft spot for the two oldest engines
in the K&WVR stable of which 957 is the elder
Now the work of restoration can begin proper
over the coming months the boiler will be fully
examined and re-tubed
The engine completely opened for survey
Then the rebuild
and once again 957 (The Green Dragon) will steam
along the Worth Valley
Derby 4F
The Derby 4F has been running the intermediate
turns since a complete boiler re-tube earlier this year

The S160 and the Riddles WD have had a busy time
