That would really have been quite a sight. I didn't realise that we had 2 large US locos in this country.
Hopefully they can run the event successfully in Nov.

Hi BW,
There are at least 6 of the USATC S160 class 2-8-0 preserved in the UK:
5197 & 6046 based at Churnet Valley Railway with 2253 on loan there as well at the moment (5197 & 6046 are going on loan to the Telford Steam Railway for their 'Polar Express' trains)
5820 is also in traffic at the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway
3278 is at Tyseley for overhaul
1631 is under restoration at the GCR(N), Ruddington.
The Churnet Valley Railway is hoping to re-run the event featuring 2253, 5197 & 6046 in February before 2253 moves to it's new residence at Dartmouth Steam Railway.
Tony
