CSPL are pleased to present a brand-new preservation livery for our locomotive!!
2807 has been repainted into GWR war time black for the
first time in preservation, actually it’s the first time in black since is
withdrawal from service in the 1960’s, may be even post war 1945/6.
The loco will be appearing at the GWSR mixed traffic gala on
the weekend 26th/27th October along side the other
resident steam and diesel locos based at the GWSR.
In mid-November the loco will leave for a Christmas Season
visit to the South Devon Railway as part of the their “Polar Express Experience”.
it will remain at the SDR until Jan 2025.
The locomotive will remain in its war time livery for the
whole of 2025. CSPL see this as a fitting commemoration of 80 years since the
end of World War 2 and the role undertaken by the GWR, all the rail companies, and
the national network.
