THE major overhaul of GWR ‘2884’ 2-8-0 No. 3850 at the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Steam Railway (GWSR) has taken a significant step forward with the alignment of the new front end to the mainframes.
“We’ve built a complete new front end in the workshops at Toddington,”explained Mike Solloway, vice-chairman of Dinmore Manor Locomotive Ltd (DMLL), which owns the engine.
