GWR Prairie Tank left the GCR as the owner has moved
to Norfolk. Into the workshop goes Black Five number 5000 “Sister
Dora” and freelance GCR Pacific number 1947 “Eureka” . The former clocked
up by far the highest mileage on the GCR in 2005. Also in the workshop for
boiler repairs is LMS Royal Scot number 6100 and for more long term repairs
BR Britannia “Mercury”. The permanent way department started work on replacing
life expired rail and sleepers on the down branch between Everglades and
Cockcrow Hill. |

A new boiler for Black Five number 5145 was received
from Swindon Copper Boilers. The loco will now wait its turn for space in
the workshop prior to returning to traffic. |

We welcome the return of a regular loco from the 1970/80’s
in the form of Greenly mogul “River Itchen” This engine was for many years
the mainstay of the Saltwood Miniature Railway in Kent until rebuilt from a
Great Western outline into its present form as a Southern U Class back
in the late 1970’s . |
