Visiting Locomotives
No. 34072 257 Squadron

Built at Brighton Works by the Southern Railway in 1948, it was among the first Bulleid Light Pacifics completed under British Railways, initially working high-profile boat trains such as the Night Ferry from Dover to London. After a decade of service in Kent, it was transferred west to Exmouth Junction in 1958 and later to Eastleigh, accumulating nearly 700,000 miles before its withdrawal in 1964.
Standard 2MT No. 78019

Built in 1954 at Darlington, No. 78019 represents British Railways' efforts to modernise steam locomotive design post-WWII, closely following the successful LMS Ivatt 2MT design with only minor mechanical updates. After withdrawal from service in 1966, the locomotive was rescued from Barry Scrapyard and restored through a partnership with the Loughborough Standard Locomotive Group. It returned to steam in 2004, and has since continued to earn a positive reputation as a reliable and efficient engine on heritage railways.
