Nigel Spencer, Stapleford Miniature Railway media press officer, said: “The railway will have three locos in steam subject to availability, including the railway’s newly rebuilt stalwart, 1940s loco John H Gretton, following a four-year overhaul and new boiler as pictured on its first steam tests last weekend.”
