News of 80151's return to service
19 October 2001
80151's repair is complete and it has worked a test run with a train over the line. A stop for photographs was made at Horsted Keynes. It is scheduled to run in the Giants of Steam (2) event on 27 and 28 October.
672 and 80151 are now the oldest and youngest surviving locomotives built at Brighton. They are seen here posed at Horsted Keynes re-enacting the Brighton Railway's well-known publicity photographs of their new Baltic Tank locomotive with Terrier Boxhill in 1914. Half of the Bluebell Railway's currently-operational fleet of locomotives were built at Brighton.
129 years separates these two photographs of Fenchurch, which hasn't changed a lot in all that time.
