15F 3046 first official steaming

Shaun wrote:Reefsteamers had a triumphant day on Friday the 21st May when our brand new 15F no. 3046 was steamed for the first official time, her boiler fully certified and actually moved out of the shed under her own steam. I am sure Lee Gates will be doing a proper photo report on the locomotive and its return to steam so you will get far better pictures soon.

The paintwork definitely compliments the loco!

Apparently the Rail Safety Regulator forbade the exclusion of deflectors!

Are you family of David Guelpa?

Why would you take the deflectors off - they give character!
