Late 2017 saw the 'Cravens' completed, a labour of love. The set was relaunched to traffic at the DMU Gala Weekend, 4th and 5th of November.
The set was completely stripped inside and is certainly something of sight to behold now it is complete. The cherry to top off 2017 came in the form of winning the Heritage Railway Association 2017 Modern Traction award, a tremendous recognition of the team's have achievement. Well done!
