RD29496vid. BLUEBELL RAILWAY, SHARPTHORNE TUNNEL.

In the rapidly fading light of an autumn evening, new build GWR Grange Class 4-6-0 6880 BETTON GRANGE recovers from a permanent way speed restriction and accelerates towards, and through, Sharpthorne Tunnel before passing the site of the long closed West Hoathly Station.

The theme for the 2025 ‘Giants of Steam’ gala weekend was new build steam and BETTON GRANGE was one of the attendees. The others were LB&SCR H2 Class Atlantic 32424 BEACHY HEAD, LNER A1 Class Pacific 60163 TORNADO, GWR Saint Class 4-6-0 2999 LADY OF LEGEND.

Many thanks are due to the countless staff and volunteers on the Bluebell Railway for putting on such a splendid show for us to enjoy.
