Bluebell Railway poster featuring 0-6-0T 'Fenchurch'


The loco was built in 1872, arrived at Bluebell in 1963, and returned to traffic in 2001 after a rebuild. This engine was withdrawn at the end of January 2011 following expiry of its boiler certificate. In early December 2019 she entered the locomotive works and was dismantled to remove the boiler for assessment, and the remainder of the locomotive reassembled for a return to public display in the newly refurbished display shed. The overhaul was formally completed in January 2023 although this poster art is dated 2012.
