Description
34028 Eddystone is a preserved British Railways Bulleid "West Country" class light Pacific steam locomotive, built in 1946. After being rescued from Barry Scrapyard and restored by Southern Locomotives Ltd, it returned to service on the Swanage Railway and returned to mainline running in 2025.

Seen around Sussex after starting the chase at Ashford International, we see Eddystone 34028 arriving into Eastbourne completing the first leg of the Sussex Belle trip from London Victoria before being serviced in the Sidings opposite, then a quick visit over to Hampden Park where we see West Coast Railways 47848 leading the set and Eddystone 34028 trailing on the rear before bowlage happens...

Finally at St Leonards Warrior Square, we finally see Eddystone 34028 steaming through with an amazing smoke show through the tunnels on route from Hastings back up to London Victoria, causing disruption with the smoke in the tunnels lol. 😂
