A short update on the 2 LNER Beavertails.
1719 went on hire to the Strathspey railway once its overhaul was completed last year It had a successful season running around 8,000 miles last year and then spent the winter in covered storage. The preseason check found 1 spring had slipped but this was soon fixed and the coach is now back in regular use.
1729 went into storage at the one;one facility in Margate and was behind Bittern, but could not be viewed. Bittern has now been moved and 1729 is being/has been moved into the public display area, where it should be for a few years
