Hudswell Clarke 0-6-0T "No 70" ex-Manchester Ship Canal has now returned to the railway."No 70" is currently out of service as a boiler overhaul is required. The main requirement is a new inner firebox, and we will be removing the tubes as soon as is possible to aid assessment of the rest of the boiler. Once overhauled 70 will return to traffic in Manchester Ship Canal lined slate grey livery.
Any donations towards this extensive overhaul would be most welcome!
