ex-SR and ex-BR Maunsell Q-class 0-6-0 30541 under restoration outdoors at the former Dowty Railway Preservation Society site at Ashchurch in Gloucestershire.
When withdrawn by BR in 1964, 30541 fortunately was sold to Woodham's scrapyard in Barry, South Wales (see my photo of 30541's front-end in my 'South Wales scrapyards' flickr album). She was purchased for preservation from Barry, moved to the Dowty site, and has ended up at the Bluebell Railway when the Dowty site closed.

30541 is a Southern Railway, Q Class, 0-6-0 steam locomotive designed by Richard Maunsell and constructed immediately prior to the Second World War, for use on medium-distance freight trains throughout the network. Twenty locomotives were built by Maunsell's successor, Oliver Bulleid, in 1938. The design was relatively old-fashioned and the class was soon afterwards eclipsed by Bulleid's own more powerful Q1 class 0-6-0's built in 1942. Nevertheless, the Q Cl;ass locomotives performed adequately and reliably until their withdrawal in 1965. Only 30541 has survived being retrieved from Woodhams Scrapyard in Barry in 1978 and was restored and now preserved on the Bluebell Railway.

Eén van de bekendste museumlijnen is de Bluebell Railway. Het is tevens één van de oudste; er rijden alweer bijna vijftig jaar museumtreinen vanuit Horsted Keynes. Anders dan veel andere bedrijven richten ze zich puur op stoom, op een rangeerloc hier en daar na geen diesellocomotieven of DMU's. Tevens worden min of meer historische combinaties ingezet die een bepaalde periode van de Southern Region uitbeelden.
De andere trein die die dag reed beeld de periode van de jaren vijftig uit, met de fraaie 'Q-class' 30541 in de vroege BR-uitvoering van net na de nationalisatie en Mark I-rijtuigen in de groene en 'blood and custard' kleurstelling. Deze trein zien we hier in het station van Sheffield Park.

A brilliant day with the Q class, a sharp frost in the morning with a bright sunrise. The sun returned late afternoon.
18th March 2019, The Q class substituted for the failed Beattie Well Tank on a Bluebell charter. With four Bulleid coaches and some nice light it did look good. At lunchtime the cold Adams Radial was photographed. More and all in hi-res at davebowles.smugmug.com/Recent-events-and-uploads/18th-Mar...
Today's combined Wealden Rambler and Wedding special hauled by Maunsell S15 No. 847 rounds the curve towards the remains of Town House Bridge before continuing its climb to Horsted Keynes and beyond. The Northerly wind carried the bark from its exhaust so well that it could be heard climbing all the way to Horsted Keynes, and levaing again shortly after. Superb!
