Very impressive Bob. Is that from recently?
It was about 1992 or maybe a bit later. Its one of the many preserved steam loco's that is certified to run charter trains. there are currently around 400 such loco's running in the UK with a lot more in museums. There are quite a few preservation societies that have their own railways, such as the Severn valley Railway, and in some cases run regular revenue earning services. Much work is done by enthusiasts and money raised from donations.
We also have a completely new loco, Tornado, built in recent years with two more loco's from different classes under construction.
We do love our steam railways ;-)
