Operating Report

Having returned to service in late March, general maintenance has been undertaken which included attention to the exhaust injector overflow and drip valves, along with a split in the ejector small jet steam feed pipe.


A new smokebox door ring has been delivered to Sheffield Park and will be fitted during Winter maintenance.

Return to service!

Following a period of winter maintenance, Camelot returned to service in late March.

As the society enters its landmark 50th year, we are delighted to be featured in the April issue (#33) of TRACKSIDE which recounts the journey from purchase to preservation.  Copies can be purchased directly from the publisher, here.
