Blyth,bulit by the same company restoring Kettering no 3 was delivered in 2022. Prices for raw materials and labour have significantly increased. Unlikely the same could be built for less thank £350 today. I beleive it will be steamed May 25th. https://www.railadvent.co.uk/2026/05/steam-locomotive-blyth-to-make-operational-public-debut-this-may-bank-holiday.html

Am always conflicted with the thought of altering the original though the results are fantastic. I also fear I don't have the skills and would be soooo annoyed if I damaged one of these wonderful models.

Great progress it seems. New shed extension underway also. https://crm.waterfordchamber.ie/news/details/waterford-suir-valley-railway-celebrates-major-progress-on-steam-locomotive-restoration

Few from Ferns today. Thank you to the Council lads who were very accommodating.

Actually in Sainleonards a mile or so from Ballycullane. Also time has not been kind to it. No longer in use but still in situ.

Great collection.
