Our historic locomotive is operational on the main line railway network and goes all over the country. We also go to private railways, where our members and the general public see her at close quarters. This year we are taking part in the Railways 200 events as holder of the post-war speed record for steam trains of 112mph. Looking to the future we encourage junior volunteers to learn skills.
