Overhaul update
A trio of photographs giving a brief glimpse of the running in of 2968 on the Severn Valley Railway on the 7th and 8th November 2023. This is being done over 3 days with 3 round trips per day, so will total nearly 300 miles of loaded test running to give the locomotive a thorough shake down. Before the finishing touches are made, and 2968 is released into traffic, and able to pull SVR passenger trains once more.
