On a cool June morning a fire was lit in the firebox of 720 to prepare it for steaming.
After a number of hours a good head of steam had been created, and with 1179 attached 720 moved under its own power for the first time in 39 years! After starting life as a park locomotive, this engine has come a long way in 13 years.
See the C17 720 restoration page for past restoration updates.Videos : Jacob Cash
