I am unaware of its whereabouts London Midland & Scottish Railway 2-6-0 No. 42968 (13268) (2968) Posted by: Russell Newman on Apr 8, 2024 @ 14:04:25 The ex LMS ‘Stanier Mogul’ 2-6-0 No. 13268, will be the star of the show at the Severn Valley Railway’s Spring Steam Gala from the 18th to 21st of April 2024, as No. 13268’s re-entry into service is set to be a major highlight of the event. It will also be the first time the locomotive will make its debut into service in full LMS lined black livery it originally carried when it first entered service in 1934.

Betton Grange Locomotive Society 4-6-0 No. 6880 'Betton Grange' Posted by: Russell Newman on Apr 8, 2024 @ 13:04:24 The visit of new-build GWR Grange Class 4-6-0 No. 6880 "Betton Grange", to the Severn Valley Railway for their Spring Steam Gala is sadly no longer happening as No. 6880 will not be ready in time for the Gala then. No. 6880 has now begun testing at Tyseley Locomotive Works, but the completion of this has come too late for transport to be organised and loaded test runs to be carried out at the Severn Valley Railway. However it is still planned to bring the brand new locomotive to the Severn Valley Railway still for testing and running in trials later on in May 2024. The Betton Grange Society have said that following this, the new-build Grange Class 4-6-0 will appear at other events as planned, subject to repairs that may be necessary.

British Railways 4-6-2 No. 34073 '249 Squadron' Posted by: Russell Newman on Apr 6, 2024 @ 09:04:42 There has been a suprising discovery about ex Southern Railway Bulleid Battle of Britain Class Light Pacific No. 34073 "249 Squadron", that its not the locomotive everyone has thought it was for many years, as it turns out that this locomotive is really ex Southern Railway Bulleid Battle of Britain Class Light Pacific No. 34054 "Lord Beaverbrook"!! Its current owner John Bunch has inspected the locomotive and found a lot of parts with No. 34054’s number on them. No. 34054 or No. 21C154 (Southern Railway number) was built at in 1947 at Brighton and was withdrawn from service by British Railways in 1964. It was thought that No. 34054 had been cut up at Brids of Bynea in 1965, how it ended up with No. 34073’s name and number and going to Dai Woodham’s Scrapyard at Barry Island in South Wales is unknown?? No. 34054 or 34073 remains at West Coast Railway Company’s Depot at Carnforth in Lancashire still, but its true identity is unlikely to be fully authenticated any time soon. John Bunch has said he has no current plans for the locomotive yet, but it is still viable for restoration still.
