Please remember that, like every heritage product across the country, we are feeling the financial pinch. Every time 3417 leaves the shed it costs money. If you are able to support our project you can donate via our website: setg.org.uk/donate. #KeepTheVEPAlive

@Timtrainspotter @Gordon_3417 We’ve taken the difficult decision to suspend our EBay sales. Our team are running on fumes in the run up to the Mid Hants and as volunteers we need to protect the work life balance of our team. It will be back. Soon :)

We've also spoken to the design engineering manager for the Northumberland Line, Northumberland CC and @alexhornbyrail from Northern about the project and how it doesn't stop there. Plus, TPE's Class 185s are 20, but plenty will be retained for years yet. x.com/i/status/20520…

Over the last few days, various Minions have deployed to Dorset for @SwanRailway #DieselGala related shenanigans. The reaction is, as always, that the Swanage folks know how to throw a party. Today is the last day of the gala and the last Minions are heading for the seaside….

More shelves, more grills painted, more seats produced and work completed: another busy & productive day at Strawberry Hill. Important Note - Billy had to ask Potter for his help.A Fitter asking a Driver. THIS NEVER HAPPENS. Buckie is treating it as a sign of the End Times.

Busy at the depot this afternoon. Trim Shop in full flow, stores reorganisation carries on a’pace and 3417’s height limiting beam overhaul continues.

If they are to be preserved, they should be preserved alive!
