No. 80105 might be privately owned, however, it is a MASSIVE part of the SRPS family. We cannot wait to see this loco return to steam! #SupportOurSRPS ^JS twitter.com/bonessrailway/…

We might not be open to visitors at the moment, but behind the scenes, the hard work by our #volunteers continues. The restoration of privately-owned BR 2-6-4T No. 80105 is fast making pace.
