Up to the end of October, 3850 has run 16,181 miles since returning to steam, and revenue earning service, on the West Somerset Railway in May 2006. The 440 miles run in October included some double heading with sister engine, 3802 during the WSR's autumn gala. It is believed that this is the first occasion that a pair of '2884' class locomotives have operated together in preservation.
To allow work to begin on the installation of the turntable at Minehead, Dinmore Manor has been moved away from the station to a position near Minehead's signal box. At the same time, several parts, including the name and number plates, have been removed for safe storage prior to the start of the locomotive's overhaul.
At the Annual General Meeting, held on November 18th, shareholders voted to raise the maximum share holding for any shareholder from £10,000 to £20,000
