41312 Ivatt 2-6-2 arrives at Bodmin General
Roger Winnen

This Ivatt Tank was seen on a lowloader on the A30 at Okehampton yesterday, being reported on SWRG. After a number of enquiries we find the engine at Bodmin in the shed. No doubt brought down to add strength to the steam fleet.
Visiting today I was made very welcome by the Bodmin & Wenford Railway, and Steve Lightfoot who gave me a guided tour of the engine shed which was most appreciated. Many Thanks Steve
