    The KWVR can run a pretty good vintage weekend with their own fleet - the locos involved date from 1887 (52044), 1888 (1054) and 1899 (85). The T3 , built in 1893 is younger than two of those (and only slightly old than the third and Beachy Head is very definitely a youngster, based on 1911 design (even ignoring the fact that it is only a couple of years old).

    Coal Tank 1054 removed from roster 41241 added, that's a shame, wonder why?
