32425 'Trevose Head' leads a SLS special from London Victoria to Portsmouth & Southsea under Mill Lane, Havant

            It is just 10 days until the official launch date of the 'new' Marsh H2 Brighton Atlantic 32424 'Beachy Head' on the Bluebell Railway after construction started at Sheffield Park as long ago as 2000. Only 6 of the LBSCR 4-4-2s were built at Brighton Works between June 1911 and January 1912 and were primarily employed initially on Pullman services, the 'Brighton Limited' and the 'Southern Belle'. Ousted by more powerful SR King Arthurs in the mid 1920s they gravitated to Newhaven Boat trains for the remainder of their careers until four were withdrawn in 1956 (following the initial loss of 32423 in 1949), leaving 32424 'Beachy Head' as the final survivor until 1958 as the 'pet' engine of Brighton shed. The discovery of an almost identical GNR 'Atlantic' boiler in the 1990s was the catalyst for the new build project.
This SLS Portsmouth Special travelled via Crystal Palace, Dorking and Arundel and would return with an ex-LSWR Drummond T9 direct to Waterloo via Petersfield.
Unknown photographer.
