Restoration/conversion of 84030

A small group under the leadership of John Jesson normally meet every Thursday to work on the project, under Colin Turner's guidance.

That there is no surviving example of a British Railways Class 2 Tank Engine is not the only motivation behind this project; 84030 should also be exactly right for the Bluebell Railway's operations in terms of its versatility, power and reliability.
