PRESENT

1054 is currently undergoing an extensive overhaul in the workshop of the 'Bahamas' Locomotive Society at Ingrow Loco – on the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway. To read more about the Society, its museum and other locomotives, follow this link, Bahamas.

This overhaul, undertaken by the Society's volunteer members, is supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund.

As in the majority of steam locomotive overhauls the major aspect of the job is the boiler. This item will consume the major portion of the hours and money expended on the whole project.

The images illustrate some of the range of work currently in progress.
