SUMMARY:76077
DESCRIPTION:Ian presents a fascinating look at the development of the Standard class 4 2-6-0s and 76077 in particular.  The engine spent almost all of its short life allocated to Sutton Oak depot and Ian explores the engine’s time there\, before transferring to Springs Branch when the shed closed.  Six months later in December 1967\, 76077 was withdrawn along with three sisters\, together being the last four members of the class to be withdrawn and moved to Barry scrapyard.  The engine’s remarkable rescue and initial restoration work is covered\, which was followed by 30 years of inactivity when the engine was largely forgotten.  Very rapid progress is now being made in restoration of the engine\, aiming for a 2026 steaming.  Ian’s presentation is richly illustrated with historic pictures as well as bringing the story completely up to date.
