THE overhaul of SR ‘Schools’ 4-4-0 No. 928 Stowe took a step forward on June 23, when the chassis departed the Bluebell Railway’s Sheffield Park headquarters for attention by a contractor based at the Buckinghamshire Railway Centre.
The loco is to receive attention to its cylinders and valve chests by J MSteam Engineering Limited. This will be followed by the fitting of liners to the outer cylinders and the installation of new piston heads and valve heads.
