Great Western Railway 2-8-0 No. 3814

Posted by: Russell Newman on Jan 10, 2024 @ 14:01:21
The tender of former GWR 2884 Class 2-8-0 No. 3814, has been moved to the North Yorkshire Moors Railway for storage now, where it will be set aside until the restoration on No. 3814 has been completed. It had been hoped that the tender would be used with new-build GWR Grange Class 4-6-0 No. 6880 "Betton Grange" for a while, but when the tank was test filled with water it had some serious leaks in it. So the tender will need some re-work to be carried out.

Sandaoling Coal Mine 2-8-2 No. JS 8053

Posted by: Russell Newman on Jan 10, 2024 @ 05:01:38
Now one of the last few JS Class 2-8-2 locomotives left in service in China today, JS 8053 now only has a few weeks of service left as it has been reported that real working steam at the Coal Mine at Sandaoling in Xinjiang Northwest China, one of the last strong holds of real working steam in China, is to end of steam operations on 15th January 2024? As new HXn5b Diesel locomotives have been delivered and crews are undergoing final training on them, marking the end of steam at Sandaoling Coal Mine soon. To any railfan wanting to see this last strong hold of real working steam left in the world today, my advice is go now while you can before its too late.

Also the BR Standard 4MT 4-6-0 locomotives are no stranger to the Churnet Valley Line, as long lost Class mate No. 75035 then also based at Stoke-on-Trent shed had worked some of the last passenger services from Leek before closure of the Churnet Valley line.
