GWR 6880 Betton Grange visits North Norfolk Railway, Holt Station August 2024
Out & About at Holt Station North Norfolk,
GWR 6800 Class No. 6880 Betton Grange a steam locomotive was built between 1998 and 2024 as a "new-build" project, originally based on the Llangollen Railway in Denbighshire, Wales, then subsequently at Tyseley Locomotive Works. Described[as "building the 81st Grange", the project started in 1998, and the locomotive was expected to be operational by 2013, but subsequently by Autumn 2021, which was then pushed back to 2024. It was scheduled to be launched under steam in a private member event in January 2024 but was postponed a week before. On 11 April 2024, 6880 was steamed up for the first time after over 25 years of work. And is now visiting the North Norfolk Railway until the Autumn.
All of the original GWR 6800 Class Grange locomotives were withdrawn for scrap by the end of 1965; this project is a creation of a member of this class, from an assemblage of original GWR and newly manufactured components.
