Funy to see how close the clearance of her chimney is under the bridge. This one was sold to Belgium (PFT-TSP) together with a spare boiler. The boiler of this loco was fitted to their class 52 loco (26101), of which her boiler couldn't be repaired anymore. Because the Belgian preservation society only needed a boiler they wanted to resell the locomotive as quick as possible to get funds to repair their new boiler, she was resold to a road haulage company in Belgium. The spare boiler is put onto this loco, and she got a cosmetic restoration for her new owner. After this restoration she went to a multi modal platform I think somewere in the Antwerp harbour where she is phlinted now as a static exhibit, open to the elements. Truly a sad end for this locomotive, but she is not the only one, as there are still many dozens of these locomotives around in Europe, either running, phlinted or rusting away in graveyards, much more than ever can go into preservation (and on the continent enthusiasts are complaining anyway they see these 2-10-0's just on about every preserved railway)
Super video. Reminds me of hols in Poland - where we stayed, Ty2s would shunt freight all night ( I didn't mind one little bit ;-) ), or haul "bank holiday" relief trains, one of which gave me one of my best train journeys ever...thanks!
Thanks for that, It was privately owned and I new it was for sale, but didn't know it had been sold, Yes was expensive to run. NVR could not afford to buy it, but they have bought the Swedish " B " from its owners.
