UPDATE: November 2025: 26043
26043 moved under its own power on 25th June 2025, following thousands of hours of work on repairs by the Group volunteers, just in time to debut at the July Diesel Gala. The photo below shows the loco at Toddington on 12th July. It then worked on several days through the rest of the season, finishing with the Autumn Showcase on 25th October. The loco will now undergo maintenance and finishing off restoration jobs over the winter.

UPDATE: November 2025: 45149 

45149 ran regularly from April until early August, when the loco was stopped due to a wiring issue and air cylinder defect. These are currently being attended to over the winter, along with other maintenance and repairs.
​
The loco should then be available for traffic at the start of the 2026 running season.
