Bluebell Railway Sheffield Park 22nd February 1976

            A winter weekend visit to the Bluebell and British Railways Standard 4 4-6-0 75027 is out of steam in the yard. Still in ex-BR condition, in fact it had been withdrawn for its first overhaul in preservation the year before.

Built at Swindon in 1954 it spent its first 10 years on the Western Region before moving to Lancashire in 1965. 75027 was withdrawn from Carnforth at the end of BR steam in August 1968 & bought for preservation as a working engine at the Bluebell later that year. 

75027 has had 2 major 10 year overhauls since 1978 (although I have never seen it in steam) but was set aside again in 2007 reportedly needed both frames and firebox replacing!
