37025's first test run

Sunday 29th April saw 37025 complete its first test run at the Bo'ness & Kinneil Railway. Until the tape ran out it was filmed from the rear loco that was attached as insurance (25235) and this is just a taster for things to come for this beast of a locomotive! Well done to all at the STG for their hard work and determined effort to get it to this stage - it was certainly smiles all round, and deservedly so! Thanks also for inviting me to come along :)

D5310 test run

On the evening of Friday 27th April 2007, 26010 (D5310) moved under its own power for the first time since 2001 and since its epic restoration. Seen here at Bo'ness TMD, then heading up the railway to Birkhill with 25235 attached for insurance, shortly after these scenes were filmed 26010 suffered a failure of its main generator and will require this lifting and being sent away for repair.
