I should be a Powderham for the first time, I,ve heard good reports of it, can't wait!
see you there!

I'm not sure about when new, I've only ever seen one picture of her in her working days at an auction in the 1930s, but can't remember now whether she was lined or not...
She has certainly been lined at various points in preservation, up until we relagged her after hydraulic 2 years ago. But trying to repaint in the middle of the season meant we never got round to lining her again, especially with the Burrell to work on! I quite like her unlined now and she is a lovely engine, so easy for boiler management, even if a handful on the regulator!
