British Railways (Southern Railway) 4-6-2 No. 34067 (21C167) 'Tangmere'

Posted by: Russell Newman on Jan 18, 2024 @ 11:01:43
For its upcoming trip over the Settle and Carlisle Railway with Pathfinder Railtours on the 24th February 2024, ex Southern Railway, Bulleid Battle of Britain Class Light Pacific No. 34067 "Tangmere", will be re-creating the early years of mainline steam preservation in the 1980s and early 1990s done by sister Bulleid West Country Class Light Pacific No. 34092 "City of Wells", by hauling a set of Blue and Grey livery coaches, from Riviera Trains. As well as a good oppertunity to re-live the early years of mainline steam preservation in the UK, the other reason for this is due to West Coast Railways own stock not meeting the required Central Door Locking system that all mainline railtour carrages all now need to be fitted with to continue running on Network Rail.
