The Sunrise Loco
from £55.00
Early on an October morning LWSR T3 No563 is seen at Corfe Common with a golden sunrise.
The lone surviving T3 was built in 1893 for the London South Western Railway. The locomotive as many LSWR locos passed into Southern ownership in 1923 and continued operating in the south of the UK, mainly around Guildford and Eastleigh. In line with modernising locomotives on the Southern roster, the loco was withdrawn in August 1939 but with the outbreak of WWII just weeks later returned to work helping the war effort. The locomotive was retired after V-E Day in 1945 and survived the cutter torch by a narrow margin. The saviour of this loco was the centenary events of Waterloo station and the need for a loco to represent the LSWR, in which 563 duly did. After this event the locomotive would spend a number of years at museums before heading to the National Rail Museum in York, England. By 2017, the locomotive was being sold off by the NRM and the excellent Swanage Railway in southern England was chosen. A railway well associated with the LSWR. After a many years in overhaul at Herston but also the Flour Mill. The locomotive returned to steam for the first time since 1948, in late 2023 at the Swanage Railway.
