Birch Grove's repairs


Inspection passed and trial running started:

Birch Grove has passed its boiler inspections and has made some trial trips on the line to Horsted Keynes. These showed up a number of minor problems which need to be fixed before it can commence working trains.

Some recent pictures taken before it left the workshop:
