- The above sequence of
captured mini-DV stills shows Sir Nigel Gresley's Class
A4 Pacific 60009 'Union of South
Africa' emerging from a curtain of steam as
it hauls the VSOE Pullman stock through Clapham Junction
Station on Saturday 19th April 2003. The Southern Railway
discs betray this as alien territory for a member of this
famous L.N.E.R. Class. Sadly it is not possible to
recreate the haunting sound of the locomotive's chime
whistle here.
- It should be noted that
preserved locomotives undergo regular periods of
inactivity for maintenance and the appearance of
photographs of any particular example on these pages does
not necessarily mean that it is currently operational.
Newly restored locomotives may be used as replacements,
locations or ownerships may change and if a locomotive
undergoes a heavy overhaul it may be out of action for
several years. This process is immensely expensive and
labour-intensive and preserved railways always require
significant financial assistance from visitors and
benefactors, so any contributions towards the uptake of
these marvellous machines will always be welcomed by
their owners.
