Update 373. 3802 at Bewdley on a gauging run, 05/08/10

As mentioned in an earlier posting, 3802 was seen at Bewdley today on a gauging run before being cleared to haul trains. The photos show it arriving and passing very slowly through platform 1. It then reversed slowly through platform 3 as I was back in the buffet eating ham egg & chips, before they got too cold. I was back out again once I knew it was ready to head towards Bridgnorth.

Gently does it!

SVR 5th August

Arrived at Bewdley and was given advanced warning that 3802 was on a gauging run from Kidderminster. My ham egg and chips had been ordered before I knew about it, so that was kept in the oven for me while I took some photos.
Other locos running were 4566, 5164 and 7802.
