The overhaul of No. 42085, one of the Lakeside & Haverthwaite Railway’s (LHR) two BR Fairburn 2-6-4Ts, is progressing – with volunteers welcome to assist the project. The BR 4MT was lifted on April 12 to release the bogie, pony truck and driving wheels. This task was led by the John Fowler & Co engineering team.
The focus is now on volunteer efforts to get all the dismantled sub assemblies cleaned down, inspected and repainted.
