Russell Restoration News
Assembly of famous steam loco Russell at Alan Keef's works has reached another milestone.
On Saturday 14 December 2013 the boiler was pressurised with compressed air and Russell moved forwards and reversed a few yards, several times, under the control of Patrick Keef.
The WHHR film crew - Liz Owen - was on hand to film the proceedings, and direct the one film extra who strayed into shot.
The proceedings can be viewed on YouTube
