After 28 years off hard work the 8F society have finally finished the restoration of their ex LMSR locomotive 48624, and on Saturday 23rd of May 2009 they hauled their first ever passenger train for members of the 8F society. This first departure took place at 9.45am ahead of the normal timetable, which started off a 3 day "48624 Steam Weekend", which featured the newly restored loco, plus stalwart WD "Royal Pioneer".

As so often with anything new, things didn't all go to plan though, and a small piece of metal in the lubrication system caused a minor problem, and the loco had to be withdrawn for a few hours whilst it was fixed, and the loco then ran for the last couple of trips of the day. We had of course gone over to the nearby Midland Railway by this time, but had decided to return again the next day (a good idea as it happened considering the excellent weather), and this time the loco ran flawlessly and looked truly magnificent, and a real credit to all the volunteers and members of the 8F Group who have worked so hard to bring this about.

Well done folks, long may she run!
