NEWSFLASH - BACK IN STEAM

Today, on the 6th of August 2025, 30075 finally passed her boiler steam test, and her 10 year certification has now started.

Our chairman John Rice getting a ‘Pass’ from Dave Wothers, the boiler inspector.

The team have worked so hard to achieve this milestone, and there has been more setbacks than had been anticipated in the final phase of the restoration. But despite this, the volunteers steadfastly and determinedly worked on the locomotive to achieve this rewarding certification.

Well done to all those involved and here is to an exciting 10 years ahead!
