72 Fenchurch

A1X 0-6-0 'Terrier' no. 72 Fenchurch pauses at Medstead and Four Marks en route to Alton.
The engine was built at Brighton in 1872 as Class A1. Designed by the London, Brighton & South Coast Railway engineer William Stroudley for use on commuter services in the south-east, it was subsequently rebuilt in 1913 with modifications as Class A1X and sold to the Newhaven Harbour company..
The engine worked on Newhaven Harbour and became part of Southern Railway stock when the railway took over the operations of the Harbour Company.
At Nationalisation in 1948 the engine was taken into British Railways stock as 32636.
Normally to be found on the Bluebell Line, no.72 was a guest engine for the Mid-Hants Railway's Autumn Steam Gala.
