Event organiser Neil Glaskin is delighted the Mid Hants Railway based locomotive is available and on the Saturday it will be used to haul the railway's Bulleid Coaching Set recreating a typical Southern Region branch line train of the 1950's
Other locomotives in service will be Terriers number 55 "Stepney" & 672 "Fenchurch", E4 Class Number 473 "Birch Grove" and Standard Class 4 tank 80151
Neil said "On Saturday authentic branch line trains will operate with locomotives and carriage matched to create typical branch line trains from the Victorian times, through the 1920's & 1950's and onto the 1960's"
The use of 41312 with the Bulleid coaches and 80151 with a three-car green Mark One set will be very typical of the Sussex branch lines towards the end of steam working on the Southern
A full working timetable is available in advance price £2.50 from Horsted Keynes station, Haywards Heath, RH17 7BB
The Ivatt tank is also booked to operate two photographic charters during its two-week visit
