On Wed she was in full view outside Ruislip depot with her coaches
and a fine sight that was.

I hope that LT start to do do silly things like the time a few years
back when she was in ordinary public service on a trip to Amersham
heritage day.

Good to see it mended again (and the 4TC unit) after several years
doing nothing. Will it have any shunting or engineering duties other
than the occasional special train? I recall during the 1970s & 1980s
it was always described as being retained as the 'brake block test
locomotive'. I used to wonder if that was some depot engineer's
wheeze to save it from scrap.

I've certainly seen her being used on the South Ealing - Acton Town
eastbound fast brake test track...
