@joshwellburn I saw her at Bridgnorth in March 2010 when I last went to the SVR. Her overhaul had just started.

@joshwellburn Looks like next year because they have taken here out of the engine house and taken her up to Bridgenort shed :)

My mum used to work at Coventry colliery as a comptometer and they pulled out all 1500's for here and even steamed one just for here then gave here 1501's smokebox plate as a leaving pressy of which she still owns to this day
