Fire lighting Ashington No.5

 For the first time in 7 years since being removed from traffic for its overhaul.


Smoke rises from the chimney courtesy of Robert.


With the fire burning, Robert completes the balance pipe valve in order to fill up the saddle tank.


Along with the Peckett, 401 was lit with a warming fire in preparation for our Father's Day Special running event.
A vary rare occasion in recent years with two home locomotives raising steam!
