Показать описание
On the first day of August, BR Standard 4MT No. 76017 would return to traffic on the Mid Hants Railway, following a major overhaul. The 2-6-0 would haul its first revenue earning trains in over 20 years! This is another new addition to the Watercress Line's operational fleet, following the return to steam of LMS Ivatt 2MT No. 41312 earlier this year.

76017 arrived in Hampshire back in 1978, and was returned to working order in 1984, where it would become an MHR stalwart for many years, before being withdrawn from service in 1995.

This video showcases 76017 in action on its first day of service.

All scenes were captured on Monday 1st August 2016.

She's a beauty! Can't wait to get down to see her myself. It would be great to see her running alongside the 2MT tank as well - perfect video opportunity! Great captures.

Awesome video mate.  Yes it is the day to remember to see the return of the BR Standard 4 in action since the 1990s.  I have seen the locomotive in the yard at Ropley the other day(Sunday 31st July) so I will be hopefully visiting the railway some time during August or September.  Thanks for sharing.

Looks very nice. Certainly looks right at home there; it used to be a SR loco back in BR says didn't it?
