In the yard at Ropley station Bulleid Pacific 34105 'Swanage'

undergoes its first restoration after being saved from Barry in March 1978. It would take the dedicated band of volunteers another seven years to get the locomotive in steam again with it entering service here on the Mid-Hants Line in 1987. 'Swanage' became a regular on the preserved line for ten years until it required another overhaul. This was undertaken and the locomotive entered service again that included it visiting other lines such as the Gloucestershire and Warwickshire Railway. At the time of writing in 2020 it was approaching the end of yet another complete overhaul but this time, unlike the open-air photograph, it would be inside one of the Mid-Hants Railway's large sheds.
