Mid-Hants Rangers "work-in" - 3rd October 2009

Following a number of scheduled operations at the Mid-Hants Gala in early September, demonstration freight use at the Members' Day later in the month, all being interspersed with Introductory Footplate Experience use between, 30075 had a weekend's rest. Mid-Hants Railway Rangers, under the supervision of M-HR Volunteers and Project 62's 30075 and 76 Support Crew - Keith and Tom Homewood - set to cleaning Yankee Tank inside and out! Below are a few photos of their day's activities. A very big thanks from Project 62 to the Rangers and to Keith and Tom Homewood for doing a great job!
