Former Marstons loco No. 3 nears toward Foxfield comeback

THE extensive restoration of Hawthorn Leslie 0-4-0ST Marston, Thompson & Evershed No.3 (3581/1924) is within sight of the finish line at the Foxfield Railway. The former Burton brewery loco is back in one piece, with the boiler re-tubed and final piping up underway. A return to steam this summer is a strong possibility.
