This blog centres on 76084 which is an ex-British Railways Standard 4 2-6-0 steam locomotive. 76084 returned to steam in 2013 after a 16 year restoration programme costing some £750,000. It last steamed for BR in 1967. After a further investment of close to £100,000 she has made her debut on the UK mainline in September 2016.

TPWS getting Nearer
Received a cheque sponsoring a Section of the TPWS Control Unit yesterday so complete funding for the Train Protection and Warning System is getting ever-closer.
The Board have given approval to start spending the ring-fenced monies initially on installing the cable runs and also on ordering long lead-time items.
As I right this post we have representatives at a railway heritage industry seminar on EMTRS and the new standards mainline locos have to adopt. So we are right up there with the other mainline loco operators - we are in the 'club' so to speak.
Thanks to all those 76084 shareholders who have helped fund TPWS technology. Your continued support is much appreciated.
