Posted by: ERH on Oct 31, 2024 @ 08:10:57
The Bluebell Railway have evaluated the sale of No 80100, and have decided to retain the locomotive. The reasons are that it is owned by the railway itself (80064 has left the line and 80151 is society owned) and that the 4MT tanks are a very useful class for the Bluebell. The locomotive is still in store in scrapyard condition at Horsted Keynes and there are currently no plans for overhaul, at least until BR standard 2MT Tank No 84030 is completed.
