Ivatt 10000 diesel project makes further progress
THE Ivatt Diesel Re-creation Society (IDRS), like all preservation groups, has had a challenging time since the Covid-19 lockdowns were imposed. However, much progress towards constructing LMS No.10000 has been achieved.
Steam-heating boilers have been obtained as the Deltic Preservation Society had decided to discontinue with steam heat in its locos. They sold a lot of spare parts to the IDRS, but the boiler shells from Nos. 55009 and 55019 had been disposed of.
