I have recently heard within the last few hours that the steam trials currently being undertaken on "Lady Anne" No.3 "Bower Grove" are almost complete. It is understood that the locomotive should undertake its loaded test run next week. Tomorrow, it is hoped that the locomotive will undergo its light engine test run follwing several static steam tests.
Meanwhile, "Forney" No.6 "Salem" has been operating its first public service trains today. It is running well and has thrilled photographers with some fabulous performances. Below, is the planned schedule for tomorrow:
Locomotive Roster:
No.6 "Salem"
No.1 "Hermione"
No.3 "Bower Grove"
Proposed Itinerary:
No.6 "Salem", (Service Trains)
No.1 "Hermione", (Service Trains)
No.3 "Bower Grove", (Light engine test run)
During the loaded test runs, "Bower Grove" will be tagged onto one of the service trains hauled either by "Hermione" or "Salem" and Double Head the train as far as Rye.
As usual, we will keep you posted with news of "Bower Grove".

Chris Nelson,
