Relive the raw power and drama of classic Southern steam with this high-resolution digital download featuring SR Light Pacific No. 34059 “Sir Archibald Sinclair” producing a spectacular exhaust as it battles the gradient up Freshfield Bank on the Bluebell Railway, aided at the rear by historic No. 72 “Fenchurch” acting as a banker.
Captured on a moody, cloudy morning, this striking image shows the mighty Bulleid Pacific in full cry, its exhaust drifting into the sky while the veteran Stroudley Terrier “Fenchurch” gives an extra push — a classic scene of teamwork that echoes the heyday of steam operations on the Southern network. Perfect for any Southern Railway or Bluebell Railway fan, this dramatic photo makes a superb addition to any steam collection.
Locomotive History
No. 34059 “Sir Archibald Sinclair” is a member of Oliver Bulleid’s legendary Light Pacific “Battle of Britain” class, built in the 1940s to haul express trains across the Southern Region. Named after the wartime Air Minister, this locomotive served with distinction before withdrawal in the 1960s and eventual rescue for preservation. After a meticulous restoration, “Sir Archibald Sinclair” now hauls trains on the Bluebell Railway, demonstrating the power and innovation of Bulleid’s revolutionary designs.
Banking at the rear is No. 72 “Fenchurch,” one of the famous Stroudley Terrier 0-6-0Ts built in 1872 for the London, Brighton & South Coast Railway. As one of Britain’s oldest working steam locomotives, “Fenchurch” has a rich history of hauling suburban and branch line trains for decades. Today, this much-loved engine continues to work heritage trains just as it did over a century ago.
