The Erlestoke Manor Fund has announced that GWR Manor No. 7812 Erlestoke Manor has had its safety valves lifted for the first time since 2017.

Erlestoke Manor was withdrawn from service after its boiler ticket expired in January 2018 and was transferred to Tyseley Locomotive Works for an overhaul,.

Fast forward to October 2021 and the boiler inspector confirmed he was satisfied with the out of the frames test.

Now this test is complete, the boiler will be lagged, clad and finally lifted back into the frames.

This will then allow the final stages of the overhaul to be completed.
