The 82045 Steam Locomotive Trust have released their latest update on building new build British Railways Standard Class 3 (2-6-2T) No.82045 at the Severn Valley Railway.

Unfortunately, volunteers still cannot visit Bridgnorth locomotive shed to continue working on 82045, but contractors have been able to progress on a number of components.

Now forged at Stephenson Engineering’s workshop, the radius rods will receive machining work soon.

John Pagett has produced nozzles for the sand ejectors at his home workshop.

Annual General Meeting (AGM)

Saturday the 25th of July 2020 had been the date set for this year’s AGM, but due to the COVID-19 outbreak, the Trust has decided that postponing the AGM is the best action.

When the situation improves, the board will discuss and decide when the next AGM will be taking place. Once details have been confirmed, the Trust will publish the new date.
