Locomotive Stock List
This stock list provides access to photographs and web pages for each engine. The Operational Locomotives page gives more detailed information about those you will find working the
trains, and the Locomotive Roster indicates which we expect to be working on any particular day.
Right: LB&SCR No. 72 ‘Fenchurch’ was the first of the Stroudley Terriers to enter service, in 1872. Famous as the oldest steam locomotive on British Railways for many years prior to its sale to the Bluebell in 1964, it has recently returned to service on the Bluebell following an overhaul which saw it fitted with its second new firebox during its time in preservation, and a new cylinder block.

The Bluebell Railway has the UK’s largest and most comprehensive collection of locomotives from the former Southern Railway and its three main constituents. It also, surprisingly, has the largest collection of BR standard design steam locomotives. This is the finest collection outside of the National Railway Museum in York and Shildon, and many are unique survivors of their particular design (indicated *). Bold is used to inicate date of construction.
