Posted by: Russell Newman on Mar 19, 2024 @ 13:03:58
As part of their 50th Anniversary, the Kent & East Sussex Railway has launched an appeal to help complete the overhaul on sole surviving ex GWR 1600 Class 0-6-0PT No. 1638, and get it back into steam again. Built in 1951, No. 1638 is both a ‘modern’ locomotive and a survivor of the age of steam rail travel. It is also the only one of its Class to have survived in preservation and has a special connection to the Kent & East Sussex Railway as No. 1638 is the only steam locomotive to be wholly owned by the railway. It was bought by the KESR in 1992 and the railway would love to see it fully restored to its former glory. The railway is looking at raising £163,800, to help complete the overhaul, which details of the appeal can be found on their website and social media pages.
