Y14 Final Painting
Despite setbacks, we are pleased to report that our J15/Y14 steams! And not only that, but she also moves under that very steam!Andnot only that, but she is now wearing the guise of GER Blue!
We were most dissapointed that the locomotive could not make the North Norfolk Railway's Spring Steam Gala. Alas, several technical challenges, including some tempermental injectors, obstructed the engine's premature flight back to Norfolk. Needless to say, despite the setbacks the overhaul has continued. Some running in tests have been made on the East Lancashire Railway and final painting of the locomotive has now commenced.
