Bluebell Railway

LBSCR Stroudley Terrier 672, "Fenchurch"

Fenchurch was bought by the Bluebell Railway in 1964, the oldest engine to have worked on British Railways. Stroudley's famous Terriers survived when more modern designs had fallen by the wayside. Fenchurch was sold to the Newhaven Harbour Company, being light enough to cross a bridge within the docks. It came back into Southern Railway ownership, and continued for many years to work at Newhaven. It came to the Bluebell in 1964 and celebrated 130 years in 2002.
