Tyseley: In The Bleak Midwinter...

"In the bleak midwinter, frosty wind made moan". Today I was over at Tyseley for another of their Saturday working parties. Various groups were in the shed today including the "Kinlet Hall" crew and the Duke brigade in their shiny green overalls. A couple of us were set to work on 84E's pioneer Castle class 4-6-0 No7029 "Clun Castle". The task was simple: to clean her up and keep her pristine ready for the winter break. After her triumphant return to steam at the October open weekend, 7029 now awaits her main line trips with the first scheduled for March next year. At around 4pm following a good day pushing some rags around the immaculate Castle it was time to head for home. Cheers all, Sam...
