  A vehicle I often get asked about! 861 was apparently on a plate. It went to Mid Hants Railway in 2003 I think (?) and I believe it is now a steam loco tender? Again, any more news on its history or present state would be welcome...

  Hi Ben:

  Yes this vehicle has been de-converted to a stem tender again. Evidence has shown that this ran with LSWR S15 510 before ending up behind an N15.

  Happily it will be running behind Urie S15 30506 with a new tender tank in less than a couple of years time.

  Kindest regards

  Is the third of the four photos actually the same vehicle as it appears to have a balcony and hand rail, not on view in the other three photos.
