RE-CREATING THE PAST: Sentinel 4wVBTG Ann (7232/1927) hauled two restored British Tar wagons on the East Lancs Railway on December 30. This remarkable scene re-created the locomotive’s working life and is a credit to those who worked to make it happen. The locomotive will have the paintwork spruced up over the winter, ready for it to perform this season.
