It can be seen that the restoration of 30053's frames are
well under way at the East Anglian Railway Museum.

| 30053 wore a false numberplate to operate Yeovil Junction to
Pen Mill shuttles in commemoration of the coming of the railways to the Yeovil
area. 30129 was one of the pair which for many years ran the Yeovil Junction
to Yeovil Town service.

It was intended during the special shuttles to switch the
numberplate to 30131, the other loco of the pair associated with the service,
but to due the excitement generated by the event this part of the plan was
overlooked. 30053 is seen here at Yeovil Junction. The sandbox filler on top of
the front splasher can be seen clearly.

| M7 30053 was a guest locomotive at the West Somerset
Railway's Spring Steam Gala 28th-30th March 2003. The engine is seen here
departing Washford station for Minehead on 29th March, double heading with GWR
Pannier tank 5764 and hauling a mixed rake of former DMU trailers and Mk1
coaches.

Rear detail of 30053 seen whilst backing down onto its train in
the down platform at Bishops Lydeard on 29th March 2003. The loco was not in
very good condition and not a good advertisement for the Southern!
