34081 92 Squadron is now back at the Nene Valley Railway.
92 Squadron a Southern Railway Battle of Britain class 4-6-2 , returned on 24th May 2010 to Nene Valley Railway out of ticket and in need of a full overhaul.
In the photo above it is out side the new shed at Wansford on Sunday 11th of July 2010 befor a full overhaul was started at the Nene Valley.
The Battle of Britain Locomotive Society owners of 92 Squadron had this locomotive at the Nene Valley Railway for 21 years with a lot of the work done outside on its first overhaul from its ex-Barry state, be for going into the shed to finish the overall be for its first steaming in December 1997. It then ran at the Nene Valley until 2003.
It then went to the North Norfolk Railway were it ran on the railway. It then needed it next full overhaul. The Battle of Britain Locomotive Society asked the Nene Valley Railway, if it would like them back? The NVR said yes.
Hopefully now the NVRs Class 5 City of Peterborough, needs its next full overhaul, 92 Squadron will soon be back in steam.
In 2014 work got under way and it hoped that it was hoped it would not be too long befor it was back in steam.
Update in 2016
The good news was that in 2016 the locomotive was back in one bit at the Southern Steam Gala and nearly ready to pull its first fair paying train with just the last things like geting the paint work right to do.
A full overhaul with all parts removed and restored has this time been done in a warm shed, not out in the open
