27505 North London Tank

The North London Railway Class 75 Goods 0-6-0T Tank, 27505, is currently stored out of service in a remote position at Horsted Keynes. It requires very major boiler work before it can be used again. The locomotive received a cosmetic repaint in 2010 for the Bluebell Railway 50th Anniversary.

Often simply called the North London Tank, the engine was used by contractors to demolish the line from East Grinstead to Ardingly, and was subsequently used by Bluebell to help rebuild part of the line again! It was away from the railway on display elsewhere between 1999 and 2005.
