GREG Wilson's USATC'S160'2-8-0 No. 6046 has been confirmed as one of the guest locomotives at the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway's Cotswold Festival of Steam event on May 27-29. The Churnet Valley Railway-based 'Yank'fits well into the gala's Workhorses of Steam theme, and the type has particular relevance to the 'Gloucs-Warks'route. In November 1943 loco No. 2403-one of 174'S160s' loaned to the Great Western Railway in the early 1940s - suffered a firebox collapse near Honeybourne after the water level ran low, leading to the fireman being killed.
