Bluebell Railway
The sole surviving SR Maunsell 'Q' Class 0-6-0 30541 is seen in action on the Bluebell Railway on 12th May 2017. The Class 'Q' 0-6-0s were the last design that Maunsell produced for the Southern Railway, and were intended as an inexpensive replacement for the many pre-Grouping goods locomotives that the Southern Railway had inherited. 30541 was built at Eastleigh in January 1939 and was initially allocated to Guildford shed, where she would have worked freights over the Reading to Redhill line. Later based at Horsham and Three Bridges, she later worked commuter services between Lewes and London Bridge, as well as goods workings over the Oxted lines, and so may well have been seen working freights over the Bluebell line. 30541 was finally based at Guildford again in March 1964, before being withdrawn in November 1964.
BR Standard 5MT 4-6-0 73082 Camelot is seen in action on the Bluebell Railway on 12th May 2017 working the 'Wealden Rambler' dining train. 73082 was one of 172 BR Standard Class 5 4-6-0s that were built at Derby and Doncaster between 1951 and 1957. 73082 herself was built at Derby in June 1955 and was initially allocated to Stewarts Lane for working the Kent Coast expresse out of Victoria, including the Dover and Folkestone boat trains. Always a Southern Region engine, she finished her days based at Guildford, where she worked local services over the Reading to Redhill line, before being withdrawn in November 1966.
