In the early morning sun LNER A4 Pacific No. 60019 'Bittern' stands alongside SR Lord Nelson Class No. 850 'Lord Nelson', which was in light steam for fears 34007 may not be able to run.

Standard 5 No. 73096 sits in the yard at Ropley since being withdrawn earlier this year from her cylinder failure.

Visiting GWR 2-8-0 tank No. 5224 takes on water at Alton.

At the same location we see Unrebuilt Bulleid No. 34007 'Wadebridge' run round her train.

34007 'Wadebridge' awaits departure.

34007 is captured alongside the recent board that has been placed along the track, the loco shown is resident Merchant Navy No. 35005 'Canadian Pacific' in unrebuilt form.

Wadebridge prepares to depeart Medstead & four Marks.

One of the many projects the Wagon team at Medstead have undertaken, doesn't it look fantastic, thanks to Chris Willis for the tour.

Viewed from a brakevan No. 5224 arrives bound for Alton.

Some rail still remains leading to one of the goods buildings.

A goods shed is seen at Medstead made from old railway sleepers, the station sign originally came from Brockenhurst located on the Waterloo - Weymouth mainline.

A4 No. 60019 'Bittern' poses at Ropley.

On my last visit rebuilt West Country No. 34016 'Bodmin' was still in ticket, however she was sitting in the same place she is now. Sadly she is out of ticket.

Another out of ticket engine is Ivatt 2MT No. 41312. Her main claim to fame is she was the last steam loco to run on the Lymington branch, the last steam hauled branch line.

34007 moves on shed.

73096 looks bare minus her cylinder, she is seen infront of new arrival USA tank No. 30075.

34007 & 60019 pose in the late afternoon.

I'm lead to believe 34007 had been declared failed at the end of the day due to superheater problems.
