8022 October 2005, RT ballast weights fitted.
8022 on shed, March 2002.
8022 on a short test drive at the Mosely Trust's temporary storage site, June 2001 .
8022 at the Great Bush railway 1976.
It is hoped to replace the missing parts and return 8022 to petrol form in the future, probably to RT spec. RT style ballast weights have been fitted to replace the wooden replicas along with a tool box, 2 sand boxes and bolted frame corner plates. A J.A.P 1000cc V-Twin is currently being rebuilt and RT body work fabricated. A RT fuel tank and petrol clutch have also been obtained.
