| This section moved here 12th July 2003 | |

Early morning on the 4th of July and the valve gear glints in the sun. Pressure is building up and a wisp of steam emerges from one of the snifting valves. |
 |
Mid afternoon on 4th July. A class 25 diesel has earlier pulled the locomotive forward, ready for the guests to arrive and watch the loco's first run at 7:30pm. |
 |
Following the runs in Swanwick yard, 92214 was coupled to a brake van and moved to the running line. She is seen here entering Swanwick Junction platform after a trip to Butterley. |

There is approximately 60 psi showing on the Steam Chest pressure gauge (top) as the loco runs out of Swanwick Junction towards Ironville. |
 |
The Boiler pressure gauge shows 160 psi. Note the pouch holding the 'long line' tablet hanging on the steam heating control wheel. |
 |
There's a good fire on and the tea is being kept hot! |
 |
Slowing the engine down at Ironville using the steam brake. |
