The classic Victorian lines of LSWR T3 No.563 are shown on this photo taken when it was displayed on the turntable at the National Railway Museum. This was before its disposal to the Swanage Railway and restoration to full working order.

The T3 in action at the Mid Hants Railway's Spring Steam Gala on 26th April 2025. What an elegant locomotive, and what an excellent job has been done to return this locomotive to working order after so very many years on static display.
