Open to the public last weekend, the engine shed, workshop and boiler shop keep the locomotives of the railway running. Here we see an example of the skills the railway has. The main frame of Stanier mogul no 42968 needed this new section welded in to replace a heavily corroded length. The right hand weld is complete. This unique engine will run again in 2020, possibly earlier if all goes well.
