34007 "Wadebridge" on shed at Ropley - Watercress Line 21/05/2019

[@TF2004-official]

Hopefully when 34105 Swanage enters traffic Wadebridge will go in for overhaul

[@hilsthetrainlady4683]

Ah, she’s looking so unloved now. Would love to see her back up and running again. 😍

[@TheSouthernerYTChannel]

All in good time, I'm sure.

[@ArkansasLocomotiveWorks]

So sad to see her like that. I recall seeing this beautiful engine operating on this line many years ago. Hope they give her some tlc.

[@TheSouthernerYTChannel]

Currently under overhaul, under contract with Riley

Exelente video 👍

[@TheSouthernerYTChannel]

Cheers

[@SimonTog]

Nice video :)

[@TheSouthernerYTChannel]

Thank you

[@oldelephantstew]

for a long time, this one was on the Bodmin and Wenford which would seem like the most appropriate place for it.

[@TheSouthernerYTChannel]

Doesn't fit in the platform head-shunt at Bodmin General.

[@oldelephantstew]

Should have known that an inferior WR station would not be up to accommodating a proper locomotive.

[@kingorry7223]

I was wondering where wadebridge had disappeared off too. I just assumed that it was at alsford or in pieces!

[@DomWhibley]

It's so sad to see my favourite loco in such a state. Do you know how long she'll be there for as I would love to go and see her while she's out the siding?

[@TheSouthernerYTChannel]

Working with very little undercover storage, and an overhaul queue to work through, the Watercress have done their best to keep the loco protected - but there's only so much that can be done in the circumstances. Personally, I have no idea - just got lucky today.

[@MDHGames]

4:38 My watchful eye spotted a particular locomotive in steam which I shall not say as i'd rather the surprise not be ruined further ;)

[@TheSouthernerYTChannel]

Yes, you mustn't ruin the surprise, that's about as obvious as the grass is green.

[@DomWhibley]

You've got me excited at the sight of those lovely arced windows. It won't be long now before we get to run behind that beauty of an engine.

[@MDHGames]

@@TheSouthernerYTChannel Okay then, I was just messing around...

[@TheSouthernerYTChannel]

I was largely being sarcastic. The owning group don't want any film/photos published before the loco is publicly unveiled, despite it being sat in full public view "as obvious as the grass is green".

[@calvinalexander1512]

What happend? Someone save her 😢

[@TheSouthernerYTChannel]

Withdrawn for overhaul. She's in safe hands.
