34053 & 34059 to both be in steam by next year?Some great news for Bulleid fans as the first rebuilt Battle of Britain's to steam in preservation doesnt seem too far away.34059 "Sir Archibald Sinclair" has been rumoured to be in steam as early as April this year. And from the recent picture, it's looking very possible! http://www.locos-in-profile.co.uk...ety/master_frames/master_sas.html 34053 "Sir Keith Park" has jumped the queue somewhat due to a more recent donation, and funds permitting, she could be in steam as early as 2010. http://www.facebook.com/photo.php...5672&l=583f5&id=564740600 (she is the loco on the left, 34072 "257 Squadron" is at the back on the right, and the frames of a Bulleid tender are closest right) The full report can be found here: http://www.southern-locomotives.co.uk/news.php Very exciting news as it only leaves 34058 "Sir Frederick Pile" as the last rebuilt BoB to steam. |
