The second Southern Railway U-class 2-6-0 loco to be restored by the Maunsell Locomotive Society, No.1638 is seen here on the day of its return to steam, 18 February 2006. The locomotive had been rescued from Barry scrapyard by the late George Nickson, and given by him to the Bluebell Railway. Placed on a 50-year loan to the MLS, it has been restored to traffic by them over a 13-year period.
