- 34053 "Sir Keith Park", owned by Southern Locomotives Ltd, has returned to Herston Works in the Isle of Purbeck for the final stages of its ongoing overhaul to be completed.
34053 emerged from Herston Works, the base of SLL, as a complete locomotive for the first time in preservation in 2012. After periods as a resident on the Severn Valley Railway, and subsequently the Swanage Railway, the Bulleid pacific entered service on the Spa Valley Railway as a resident in the autumn of 2020 before being withdrawn from service in 2022 upon the expirey of its boiler ticket. Since then, the locomotive returned to Herston Works for dismantling and the overhaul of the chassis, before leaving the site for a boiler swap. The boiler now on 34053 has come from 34010 "Sidmouth", another Bulleid pacific from the SLL fleet, while 34053's will be overhauled for use on 34010 which is much further off completion.
34053's return to Herston marks the beginning of the final stages of this overhaul, and the subsequent push to have the locomotive completed and returned to traffic promptly. Regardless, the restoration and overhauls of their fleet could not be achieved without support. More information about, and any donations to, SLL can be found/done here:

She'll come out of their works looking a million dollars, respect to SLL. Top marks to that driver as well👍 Was that rain again Matthew??😂😂😂😂😂😂
Really not having much luck with the weather lately 😅 Fingers crossed for some improvement.
Speaking to some of the SLL volunteers, they're very much up for the challenge.
Thanks for the video. It was nice to catch up with you this morning.
Glad you liked it, was nice to catch up
Shoutout to all the SLL team! Was wondering when she would be back not long now!
Hopefully be back on spa rails soon. Good old SKP
Bring on sir Fred.
Nice video :)
Thank you
So that locos not having luck with the weather
Where’s the M7, is it behind the other shutter door?
Yes
Will the loco be in service at the Swanage Railway? If not where will it go
34053 is a resident of the Spa Valley Railway, and will eventually return there after completion. It may see Swanage's rails first though.
lets hope for June ;)@@TheSouthernerYTChannel
Do we have a date when she'll be back in service?
SLL are aiming for the Bulleid gala in June.
Motorów huk, jak marsza grają silniki
Ze śmiercią w srogi tan, tęsknota nas gna.
Motorów huk, to zwykła piosnka lotnika,
Motorów huk, serc rytmem w piersiach gra.
Przez mrok i gęste mgły,
W obronie obcych wysp,
To my - Dywizjon 303
To my!
Na skrzydłach naszych błyszczą polskie znaki,
Na skrzydłach wiatr wolności pieśń nam gra,
Jak wolnych pieśń, płyniemy ponad światem,
Aż padnie w proch siedlisko zbrodni i zła!
Melodią serca równo grają śmigła
Jak zemsty zew, ten śpiew do boju nas gna -
Ta pieśń, nasza pieśń, na tych znakach,
Na skrzydłach nam gra...
W bój na zew, w bój na zew
Podniebny lot, zwycięski śpiew!
Orłowy lot, jak racą strzelić w błękity,
Na wroga z góry spaść i strącić go z chmur!
Spitfiry w lot! Na grzbietach gnać Messerschmittów,
O Polskę tu, toczymy z wrogiem bój.
Przez mrok i gęste mgły,
W obronie obcych wysp,
To my - Dywizjon 303
To my!
I had to search this up following this comment. I was unaware of the songs' existence. I appreciate the comment here.
