K&ESR Locomotive status

Many people often wonder what the status of the Kent & East Sussex Railway's locomotive fleet is. What is in service, what's in storage, what's under overhaul etc.

Here's an update with a photo of each of our locos in current condition.

Under overhaul / out of service

376 Norwegian - In the final stages of a 10yr overhaul.
Should be back in summer 2013

25 Northiam - Overhaul well underway,

DS238 Wainwright - Overhaul is underway with
works on the boiler in progress
