Historical Note 1076 was built as 1804.
Changed to 1076 when it was converted to a crane tank. When the jib was removed it retained this number. Funnily enough it features in 'Days of Steam' as wel ... |

Nice to see the RTM assisting 3801 Ltd....

There is about 0% chance of 5908 or 5916 steaming again. They are pretty much buggered beyond fixing. Possibly restoration to Static with a face lift in the future but not steaming.

Doesnt GRSM own 1919 not DSRM?
Correct, but DSRM own 1903 and 1923. Both groups could have a 19 class operating.
It's actually 1904, and no, DSRM don't own it. Private owner. |
