Maintenance update
The Severn Valley Railway is currently only running between Kidderminster and Hampton Loade due to the landslip at Mor Brook, near Sterns between Hampton Loade and Bridgnorth. This has left 13268 at Bridgnorth, where whilst not in service whilst a new rake out ash pan is fitted. This replaces the hopper type previously fitted.
The new ash pan will fit using nuts and bolts to the lap joint pictured.
An unusual view of the stanier mogul, looking at the space where the new rake out ashpan will go, once material has arrived and it has been fabricated.
