The restoration of former London & South Western Railway, Urie built S15 4-6-0 No. 499, has recently stepped up as the locomotive has been moved into the main workshop at Ropley for the next stage and work is progressing on building its new tender tank. It is hoped the locomotive will be completed in 2028.
