Nice to see it back at the railway even though I saw it at Eastleigh a couple of weeks ago. But I thought it was going to be redone at Eastleigh. But at least it's back so they can start work on it.
The chassis has been refurbished at Eastleigh, but the boiler is undergoing completion at Ropley. Makes financial sense in terms of transport costs, to assemble the loco at the MHR.
