The class 3 tank

None of the class have survived into preservation. A registered charity, the 82045 Locomotive Trust, is building a "new" class 3 tank locomotive to carry the next number in line had it been built under BR auspices. The Trust believes that a spritely performance will be delivered through the 17½" x 26" cylinders. This; coupled with their modest axle load will make it an ideal design for today's heritage railways.
