34070 "Manston" at work on the Watercress Line 16/02/2024

Visiting from the Swanage Railway, courtesy of Southern Locomotives Ltd, 34070 “Manston” received its first daylight runs on the Mid-Hants Railway ‘Watercress Line’ this week, as it took charge of services over the school half term break. “Manston” is currently presented in a wonderfully weathered condition, with dirt and grime building up nicely across the air-smoothed casing. Its work-worn appearance has been applied to provide a welcome and authentic reminder of 34070's working life; 34070 spent its final years allocated to 72A Exmouth Junction, appearing in a similarly rundown aesthetic. The services were running in conjunction with the lines’ ‘Magic of Locomotion’ event taking place over the school half term break. This would see a few theatrics taking place across the railway.
