6619 Grosmont, NYMR. Circa 1991.

            6619 is a GWR/BR Class 56xx, 0-6-2T, steam locomotive, which was built in 1928 at the GWR, Swindon locomotive works to a design by Charles Collett. It was withdrawn from service in March 1963 and was taken to Woodham Bros. scrapyard in Barry, South Wales.
Purchased and removed from the scrapyard, it was restored between 1979 and 1984 for use on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway, with some input from volunteers from the Kent & East Sussex Railway.
It visited a number of preserved railways and spent some time at Embsay on the Yorkshire Dales Railway. 
It was subsequently purchased for the Kent & East Sussex Railway (K&ESR) and moved there in November 2012. Following the expiration of the boiler certificate in January 2015, it is being overhauled at Rolvenden Works on the K&ESR.
