The second visiting engine has been announced by the Bluebell Railway for their Branch Line gala in April:
BR-built Ivatt 2MT 2-6-2T No.41312 from the Mid Hants Railway.
This is a return to the Bluebell for 41312, having visited for the Branch Line gala in 2003, and then spent a longer period there during 2005/6 when it was hired in to provide an extra loco whilst the spoil trains were running to remove the spoil from Imberhorne cutting in preparation for the extension to East Grinstead.
41312 joins the previously announced visitor, TVR O2 class No.85 from the K&WVR, and resident BR 4MT No.80151, SR Q class No.30541, and SECR locos O1 class No.65, H class No.263 & P class No.178 - the latter having just received an extension to it's boiler certificate until October this year.
