The Big Blue One goes walkabout

Ex-SDJR 2-8-0 no 88 - currently finished in the famous Prussian Blue - is to visit two heritage railways in 2007. So report the Somerset & Dorset Railway Trust. The prussian blue liveried engine will be starring at the Severn Valley Railway’s Branch Line Weekend on 10-11 March, which will be its second visit to the line. A little further ahead, No 88 will be hauling trains at a ‘Big Four’ gala on the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway between 31 May and 3 June 2007.
