David Foster, company secretary of Dinmore Manor Locomotive Ltd, explains how the heavy overhaul of the group’s GWR 2884 2-8-0 No. 3850 at the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway has included a complete front-end rebuild – and turning a large chunk of it upside down.
A horse, a horse, my kingdom for an iron horse!
The old saying ‘Richard of York gave battle in vain’ recalls Richard II, the last English king to perish in battle, at Bosworth Field in 1485. Five centuries later, rail revivalists won a battle of their own nearby, establishing The Battlefield Line as one of the top visitor attractions in the Midlands, and in the festive season just gone, running sell-out trains thanks to measures introduced in the fight against Covid-19. Shakespeare immortalised the king’s last stand with the line: ‘A horse, a horse, my kingdom for a horse!’ Nicola Fox tells the story of the modern battle that has been well and truly won in the shadow of Bosworth Field.
