P 1980. Bulleid open third. 32T. To Bluebell 08/80. Was property of NRM, then transferred to Bluebell as part of collection rationalisation. Expected to see restoration by 2008: needs replacement external sheeting and window frames. This didn't happen - instead by 03/12 to Mid Hants Railway on a 25 year loan for restoration and operation. By 07/15: restoration under way. By 03/19: bodywork fitted over frames and interior seating fitted. By 07/24: returned to operational use. |
