7822 Overhaul Continues at Tyseley!

7822's overhaul is continuing at Tyseley, the boiler has now been removed (December 2024) and the exploratory work into the state of the boiler can begin. Martin and the team have a plan, but obviously until the boiler is fully inspected, we have to wait and work out the best way forward, we ask for you to cross your fingers as old machines like steam locomotives always have an element of the unknown. If you can support us in any way, please do, the more we can get in the bank, the more likely we will be to get the engine into steam quicker. Download our donation for to help. ​​

Foxcote Manor Tender in Use on New Grange.

The 81st Grange, No. 6880 "Betton Grange" is in the early stages of her running career and is running with the tender off our very own Foxcote Manor. FMS Trustee Scott Barnes has done a lot of work to tidy up the tender. Needle-gunning away rust, painting the coal space, welding up defects in the toolboxes, and painting the tender into BR lined green livery. It's a really excellent job and it's great to see the tender being put to good use while 7822 is overhauled.
