Restoration at Pitsford
GWR 2-8-0 3862 under restoration at Pitsford on 7 May 1995. Although looking well under way at this date the restoration of 3862 has proved to be long-running, and this loco is still being worked on at this location 23 years later.
3862 was completed at Swindon in November 1942 and was sent to Oxford shed. It ended up at Croes Newydd shed, from where it was withdrawn from traffic in 1965. 3862 spent 22 years at Woodham Bros scrapyard before being purchased for preservation at the Northampton and Lamport Railway.
