Bluebell Railway Locomotives
These pages contain a variety of photographs of the engines that are and have been on The Bluebell Railway. Some of them have not steamed in preservation, Primrose has not moved since before I was born and many others last steamed before I started taking pictures. Therefore some of the pictures are of engines in an partially or un-restored state! Some of the older ones especially are not of the best quality, but are there for completeness; or interest, such as the one of 80064 at Horsted Keynes. Not a great picture, but interesting to see the far platform with no trace of a canopy. The recently steamed engines, such as Fenchurch and Blackmore Vale, are the subject of many of my photos, so I can leave out the duff ones! I hope you enjoy them.
