K&SBLR: Latest News

Following its Light Engine Test Run on Saturday, we can now confirm that "Forney" No.6 "Salem" is running well having undertaken the loaded test this morning. The locomotive will be formerly returned to traffic on Monday and it is to participate in the "Black Locomotives Weekend" in late June.

Meanwhile, "Lady Anne" No.3 "Bower Grove"'s troubles continue following a second steam test. The problem, we think, is being caused by the ash pan, this will be repaired and further tests will be undertaken later. However, we do still intend to have the locomotive ready to participate at the Bower Grove School Summer Fete on Saturday 18th June 2011. More details will be published as they come through.

Chris Nelson,
