"King Arthur"131 viewsing Arthur has run every year since its arrival in 2005. It has needed very little other repair work. A complete overhaul was undertaken in 2015. The main improvement to the engine was the fitting of a new fire hole door and a special steel firebox arch. This greatly improved coal consumption. A major overhaul was completed in 2019 together with a repaint, and the boiler was re-tubed in 2020.
