Repton in Winter
Repton in Winter
Repton was Restored at Eastleigh, entering Service May 1934 and was withdrawn 30th December 1962 at Basingstoke. Where she was renovated - Repton was donated by her purchaser to Steamtown USA in Vermont, who in turn loaned her to the Cape Breton Steam Railway in Canada. Some modifications were made to her to satisfy US/Canadian running requirements, most notably a high-sided coal tender - though this pattern of tender had been seen on other Schools in BR service. Now she is the 'lead' locomotive based at the North Yorkshire Moors Railway
