The Merchant Navy Locomotive Preservation Society has marked a major milestone for 35025 Brocklebank Line, as the locomotive enters a new chapter.
The locomotive has been formally transferred to MNLPS ownership. This milestone was marked by handing over the locomotive nameplates at their base at Stewarts Lane.
Boiler 1104 that was fitted to 35025 has already been collected, and the MNLPS are now assessing what work will need to be completed.
The MNLPS has also visited Southern Locomotives Limited to assess parts available and make a plan for storing the components.
The plan is for Brocklebank Line to be a major restoration project, with 35028 Clan Line remaining the focus, but there is a vision to see Brocklebank Line back on the mainline.
Major components are required, including a tender chassis, dragbox, motion and numerous brass fittings.
Funding will be required to take this project forward, and if you want to help, you can do so via their website.
