D1015 has now been successfully fitted with GSM-R and it only remains for the bogie change to take place before D1015 can return to traffic.
Unfortunately this will not be completed in time to allow the loco to work the diesel leg of
Vintage Trains tour on the 27th April or attend
the Western Weekend at the SVR the following week.

Two new archive photos added courtesy of Dave Hird, both at the old Reading Gas Works site
