Don't know of this has been covered on here yet, but the lamp room at Eardington station, located on the Severn Valley Railway, was raided and a large number of items were stolen on 15/04/24. The items included a dozen loco lamps, a cast iron door sign, brass oil cans, a milk churn and an enamelled advertising sign along with a toolbox of spare parts that have been accumulated over the last 20 years. Also, just a few days earlier, Hampton Loade was also subject to a theft in which cast-iron signage was taken. https://www.railadvent.co.uk/2024/04/thieves-raid-popular-shropshire-railway-station.html#google_vignette

As AYmod has posted earlier, there is a Class 47 named Beeching's Legacy (kind of funny as the Class 47 helped to replace the steam locos that Beeching got rid of)

They've only just repainted it! But yes, It would look in "Dutch"

Photo is a bit rubbish but got a proper look at 37264 today.

Got my first glimpse of 37264 in its new BR blue livery on Easter Monday. Unfortunately, there were carriages in the way so I couldn't see it properly.

It is with deep regret that I unfortunately have decided to sell Oxendale. This is due to space not being available for it. It will be sold with all the buildings and accessories (people, police box, platform benches and lamps etc) but not the controllers, vehicles and rolling stock. Asking price is currently £500. You'll have to come and collect it as I won't be able to transport it anywhere.

It has got its TOPs number on already. unless you mean its old BR number (D6964?). I'll be honest, the BR large logo livery, although it's a good livery, was looking a bit faded. The guys have done a great job and I can't wait to see '264 back in service.

Domino headcode is now back on.

She's looking good!

Update:

I think it's alright. The red and black parts are good but I think the grey is too light. Maybe if they changed it to a darker grey, it would look better. I don't know why they repainted it from BR blue but there's probably a reason for it out there somewhere.

I visited the museum yesterday and asked one of the volunteers if they would be getting a new workshop. He said that the museum currently don't have any plans to. So that'll be a no. In more positive news, I was also told that the balcony overlooking the real railway should reopen sometime this month.

That's what I was thinking
