The Britannia's

Post by CVR1865 »

Hello everyone

It all seems to have gone a bit quiet out there lately. So does anyone know what is happening on the restoration front with 70000 Britannia and 70013 Oliver Cromwell?

All of the interweb seems to throw up is really rather dated and i am getting rather curious.

kind regards and i look forward to hearing from you all.

Oliver Cromwell is currently at the Great Central Railway. I was there 3 weeks ago doing a driver experience day.

Olivers boiler was having the firebox stays checked and the remainder of the loco was in the works being rebuilt. It will still be at GCR if you want to visit.
