20 March 2022. We were delighted to have Peckett 'Pectin' officially return to traffic. Withdrawn after 30 March 2014 CLICK HERE much of the work was completed on site whilst the boiler was overhauled elsewhere. A new firebox was fabricated. We hope that the engine will give us many more years of great service. Here are some photos of the day. |
