THE return to steam of BR ‘2MT’ No. 46464 reached a milestone on July 28, when it was rewheeled. It came the day after the formal relaunch into traffic of ‘Black Five’ No. 5025.
At the same time, rapid progress is being made on the overhaul of the line’s other BR 2-6-0 ‘Mickey Mouse’, one-time Oswestry-based No. 46512. Alongside Caledonian Railway No. 828, the developments raise the prospect of four main line steam locos being available for traffic at Strathspey next year.
