LOCOMOTIVE 3801 STEAMS AGAIN! 🤩 On Saturday 28 March, we had the pleasure of steaming locomotive 3801 for the first time since receiving its shiny new coat of paint. During this period of social distancing and in place of last weekend’s planned relaunch, we put together this short video as a small way of recognising the thousands of volunteer and staff hours put into the project. 👏 You can also now view images 📸 and more footage 🎥 of the locomotive in its shiny green livery at www.thnsw.com.
