Steam Locomotives in Preservation
Ivatt Class 2MT Tank Locomotive, Mid Hants
Railway, 2000
- This sequence of captured
mini-DV stills shows Ivatt Class 2MT Tank
41312 at Alton and Ropley, Mid-
Hants Railway: http://www.watercressline.co.uk/ , 2000. This was the first time
that the photographer had seen this recently restored
ex-LMS locomotive (a regular sight at Clapham Junction
back in 1967) for 33 years.
- 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.
