Horsted Keynes, Bluebell Railway. 11 August 1984
My second visit to the Bluebell Railway at Horsted Keynes station, England was on a hot summer's day in 1984. Former Southern Railway 'Q' class 0-6-0 engine No.541 (British Railways No.30541) is entering the unusual double-sided platforms 3 & 4 of this beautifully-restored station. The volunteer staff are taking a well-deserved rest in the shade.
Long time Bluebell engine No.541 (as BR No.30541) was rescued from Barry scrapyard and can be seen on the left of a photo in my "South Wales scrapyards" album in a rusty state in 1967:

and in 1977 at the Dowty site prior to restoration (from my "Heritage Railways" album):
