Bet you did not have to pay £20 a raffle ticket in the hope of winning for doing it though.

Hi Oliver and welcome to the forum. Just a query regarding the whereabouts of the Brit, she is currently at the Great Central Railway undergoing a bottom end overhaul. She is due to be completed and out on the mainline by late spring though!
Anyway good luck with the appeal
All the best

I have already had a footplate ride on this Beauty, when at Bressingham Gardens, some years ago.
