54 - Thomas Back in Service

A short video showing the steaming of a Robert Stephenson and Hawthorns 0-6-0 - no. 54 - after the locomotive's restoration. The engine no longer has its original tank as it has been converted in a 'Thomas the Tank Engine' lookalike.

The engine resides at the East Anglian Railway Museum.

That's the Thomas train that was at Bressingham Steam Museum and Gardens when I went there in August 2010. :)

@StarbugProductions it is indeed! Engine is currently undergoing some repair work and should be in action at the EARM at Easter.

@pr100713 I'm going on Easter Monday. So you think the original Thomas from EARM will be back in action?

[pr100713]

@StarbugProductions I understand that the repairs have now been completed. Hope you enjoy your day!

Ah it is a great Thomas shame about the low pitch whistle!
