SR&RLR "Forney" No.6 "Salem" has been formerly returned to traffic following repairs and a few trial runs that took place this morning. The loco has had a smoke box repaint into Matt Black and brand new white lining has been added. The loco will be operating service trains this weekend, as well as the popular "Black Lion Diner Special", which this weekend will run until bank Holiday Monday. Two extra trains will operate on saturday 3rd June and sunday 4th June 2011. The locomotive's first big event will be the "Black Locomotives Weekend" during late Spring, when Roundhouse "Jack" No.4 "Holman F Stevens" will make its last apperance in Unlined Black livery before her repaint into Midnight Blue complete with white lining.
We will keep you posted with details of the Forney's progress.

Chris Nelson,
