A fantastic day! Ann getting lots of interest from punters. Dragging 100 tons from C&W yard to Castlecroft was just superb, superheating and enjoying every minute of it. Nice addition to have the Scammell heading out of the museum too, same again tomorrow @eastlancsrly #heritage

[Liam Barnes @LiamEBarnes]

@YorkshireOliver Hope it’s a good night! Enjoy 👍

With Hudswell 4002’s bodywork and repaint last year the interior was always on the list of things to do - So spent some time giving the cab the same much needed treatment, painted, varnished window frames, pipework picked out etc.
