Ivatt 46447 Returns to Steam

46447 steam test and 80064 overhaul starts!

A successful first steam test on 46447 today. A relatively short snagging list to work through tomorrow ahead of the boiler inspectors visit on Monday.

80064 was positioned over the running shed pit this morning to access some of the components under the pony truck and rear bogie as we start the job of stripping everything from the frames. The large air receivers were also removed.

46447 then did the honours of shunting 80064 into the workshop.
