Bluebell Railway 'New Steam Locomotive' No.32424 Beachy Head

Welcoming Britain's newest Steam Locomotive

The Bluebell Railway is proud to announce that their new build LBSCR Marsh Atlantic No. 32424 ‘Beachy Head’ has been launched into traffic at The Bluebell Railway.

The project to recreate 32424 ‘Beachy Head’ began over two decades ago, driven by a dedicated team of volunteers and enthusiasts at the railway. This ambitious endeavour aimed not only to build an accurate replica but also to revive a part of railway history which many had thought had been lost forever. Now, this much missed omission from those locomotives to have survived to the modern day has now been put right.

The loco launches into traffic on 23rd August to 1st September, marking an extraordinary achievement in railway preservation and engineering. Collectable shows the loco in deisgn with Brighton postmark 23.08.24 and single Great British Railways stamp with special printed cachet.

As one of the first preserved heritage lines in the country, the East Sussex Heritage Railway boast one of the finest collections of vintage steam locomotives and carriages, many of which were preserved directly from service on British Railways. The historic line commenced services in August 1960 and today runs steam trains between Sheffield Park and East Grinstead, with stops at Horsted Keynes and Kingscote.
