80064 restoration: The start of the big disassemble

Following the WSR Spring Steam Spectacular when the loco was on display for visitors to view, it was taken back into the shed for the work to begin.

Alongside the planning and costing work the dismantling has also begun.  A new container has been purchased to securely store the parts so they can be cleaned and restored in due course.  In May 2024 a volunteer team began the dismantling work.  Images are courtesy of Mike Wightman and Steve Wosley.

The team still needs more volunteers.  If you’d like to get involved and can spare some time to work on our locos at Williton please contact the lead Trustee Jeff Price for more details.
