Departing...
In a welcome gap between heavy showers, 30120 leaves Corfe Castle "tender first" towards Swanage.
30120, though renovated many times, is an old locomotive. Built sometime between 1899-1901, the locomotive originally operated on the London and South Western Railway, so seems quite at home at Swanage Railway. This is the only T9 class survivor and will once again undergo major works as her boiler certificate expires later this year.
