The Moseley Railway Trust is pleased to report that significant progress has been made on the restoration of Hudswell Clarke steam locomotive no.
Colin re-acquired it in exchange for a bottle of schnapps.Since the locomotive returned to the UK, it has been placed on display at the Moseley Railway Trust’s Apedale site, and also with the Leighton Buzzard Light Railway before moving to a workshop for restoration.
However, there remains a funding gap of £20k which needs to be raised in order to complete the boiler. Phil Robinson, Moseley Railway Trust Chairman, commented:- We are pleased to have entered the final phase of the restoration of this fascinating locomotive.
