To the best of my knowledge that's where they are at the moment. I believe that one of the Kent & East Sussex Railway Terriers (Bodiam?) has been/will be withdrawn this year Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul.Uni Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Yesterday Martello moved for the first time since 2009. Bressingham have share this video on their social media https://www.facebook.com/Mark.Savage.1982/videos/10153753255676517/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Ian J. Posted August 10, 2016 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted August 10, 2016 (edited) Wow, I didn't realise 662 had been out of service that long. I drove Martello on the Lavender Line in Autumn that year, so it must have been just before being taken away for what appears to have been a heavy overhaul. But I'm very glad to see 'him' running well Edited August 11, 2016 by Ian J. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahardy Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 32670 and 32678 are both in service at the KESR. 70 has until the end of this year until its withdrawn from traffic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul.Uni Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 *Blows dust off thread* Newport & Freshwater will be taking part in the Isle Of Wight Steam Railway Island Engines event alongside Calbourne on 4&5 August. This will be the last chance to see all three island engines together until Freshwater's overhaul is completed.

Jack Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 Boxhill is definitely at the NRM in York ... but not exactly 'On Display'. In August it was parked at the back of the "Learning Space" and is barely in view ... you can just about see it if you lean over the barrier by the loos. Judging by the layer of dust I'm guessing its been there a while. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Ian J. Posted October 7, 2018 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted October 7, 2018 With both a tied-in 7mm model release, and an upcoming tied-in 4mm one, I would hope they could give Boxhill a bit of a spruce up and put it on more visible display.

RMweb Premium Dava Posted October 7, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 7, 2018 Boxhill has been there at least two years since my last visit. It does feature in schools visits but is otherwise a candidate for the Waddon award for being overlooked by its host museum. Fortunately 32678 has been active this summer on the KESR and we had an enjoyable ride behind it in the vintage train last month. Let's just remember it will be the 150th anniversary of the Terriers' 1872 introduction in 2022, so it's time to star planning their 'Great Gathering' of all locos in intact condition with some operational. Time for Waddon to make the return trip....venue, 'somewhere in Southern England'? Dava Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium phil-b259 Posted October 7, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 7, 2018 (edited) Stepney is NOT under overhaul - and given it needs new frames at a minimum its going to stay in the new 'Steam Works' section of the loco shed at Sheffield Park for a good while yet. Fenchurch is, as stated, awaiting overhaul. No date has been set but the consensus is that as it is in a better condition than Stepney then it might enter the workshops at some point in the next decade - possibly to replace Bluebell when her ticket runs out.

RMweb Premium Dava Posted October 14, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 14, 2018 Does the 'news' that 'Waddon' may just be surplus to requirements at Exporail in Delson [Canadian railroad museum] make its return to the UK more likely? https://www.steamrailway.co.uk/steamnews/2018/10/12/steam-railway-sr485-on-sale-now Waddon and Boxhill are the only original A1 type Terriers. Ideally both would be included in a 150th anniversary 'great gathering' of the remaining 10 Terriers in 2022. The good news is that all are intact except 50 'Whitechapel' under overhaul at the Spa valley Railway although only 3 are currently operational. 70 'Poplar/Bodiam' has an overhaul planned before its 150th birthday. How about recreating the New Cross Gate 'Rooter Roundhouse' as a temporary structure to display all 10, somewhere in LBSCR territory? It may seem far fetched but we'll only get one shot at this and very few of us will be around for the 200th anniversary! It would be a huge attraction. Maybe Dapol could be a sponsor?

RMweb Premium Ian J. Posted October 17, 2018 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted October 17, 2018 (edited) Waddon is a hybrid - it has an A1 smokebox but an A1X boiler. Boxhill is the only A1 in existence now. Repatriation for Waddon would be nice to see, as long as it goes to a good home. Edited October 17, 2018 by Ian J.
