AMBERLEY Museum’s Bagnall 0-4-0ST Peter has returned to steam following a major overhaul.
Peter was withdrawn in late 2018 and work undertaken has included provision of a new boiler barrel, front tube plate, new tubes and attention to the firebox by Bennett’s Boilers of Somerset. It was set to be officially launched back into service during the Museum’s July 23-24 Rail Gala Weekend.
