After looking at Ex-LBSCR E4 class B473 and Southern U class 1638 we now complete the round-up of locomotives that were in steam when visiting the Bluebell Railway on the 26th August. In my opinion we have left the best to last – South Eastern and Chatham Railway’s C class 592. If you have enjoyed…
