There has been more work this week at Preston on Great Western Railway 0-6-2T No 5643 as the ten-year overhaul continues. Ed is seen here entering the water space at the bottom of the bunker.
The outside of the bunker has now been painted in undercoat green.
Meanwhile folk group Live Steam played for Barrow Model Railway Club members and exhibitors at the annual exhibition on Saturday. The observant of you will notice that the venue was a brewery!
Sam and John Dixon made the trip to Bury on Saturday to clean and polish Furness Railway No. 20 which is scheduled to be in service at the East Lancashire Railway’s Autumn Steam Gala along with Great Eastern Railway royal saloon No. 5 this next Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
Finally, FR 20 and GER 5 are due to arrive back at Preston on Wednesday, 22nd October.
