On its current extended visit to Mid-Hants Railway, #92212 is being worked on in the Ropley Loco Shed on its non-service days to bring it up to main-line standard. Between December 2003 and September 2004, the loco's wheels were removed and re-tyred, the pony truck and axleboxes were renovated, injectors replaced, and the loco repainted.

Lots of MHR staff also are keen on motorbikes, so interest stirred when they learned that ace 1960's motorcycle racer Dave Degens was to be our guest on the 9F today.
