QUOTE (BRITHO @ 20 Apr 2007, 17:46) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>Recent talk of Clan Line and Bittern made me wonder do any members have any details on the current position with regard to 34070 Manston. As one of only 3 known survivors from the original buying team I would like to find out whats happening to her.
As a matter of interest I was the person who painted resrved on her one day in 1979.

John
Hi, I believe Manston is at an advanced stage of restoration by Southern Locomotives Ltd for use on the Swanage Railway. I think in the last Swanage news I received (spring 2007) it was in their Herston works for completion; steaming date 2008/9?
