A number of locomotives filmed in action at the Bluebell Railway, UK in September 1992. Details as follows:
1) Southern Railway 2-6-0 Class U number 1618. This locomotive was withdrawn from service in 1994 and is now a static exhibit in the museum. Very unlikely to be restored in the near future.
2) Southern Railway 0-6-0 Class Q1 number C1 owned by the National Railway Museum (NRM), York. The locomotive left the railway in 2004 and is now back in the NRM as a static exhibit.
3) South Eastern & Chatham Railway (SECR) 0-4-4T Class H number 263. Currently operational.
4) SECR 0-6-0T Class P number 323 'Bluebell'. Withdrawn from service in 2019.
5) British Railways 4-6-2 Class 'Merchant Navy' number 35027 'Port Line'. Withdrawn from service in 1996 and sold to Jeremy Hoskins in 2000. Now at Crewe. It was considered too large for the Bluebell Railway.
