Our Bullock steam locomotive "Firefly" returned into service after a complete overhaul done by Andrew Walton of Denver Light Railway. She was running on both Saturday and Sunday and will be used throughout the season. I just thought I'd make a wee post for you all to see.

Thanks,

John

She looks superb John - I really prefer that colour over the red (but the old green was nice too....)

She looked great in the mustard yellow at Hastings - always thought it a shame she was sold. Nice paint job.

The Caledonian Blue looks great on her, really want to see her in steam now - Andys done a great job.

Seeing her running on air isn't quite the same!

I remember Firefly at Hastings in yellow and brown livery. And being allowed to couple her up to the train and drive her on the run round loop at Rock a Nore Station. Great for a 8 year old!

Thanks for all the positive comments people! We are planning on taking her on tour to Hastings and Eastleigh and possibly a few other places next year so if you are interested in her visiting your line then drop me an email or PM me!
