<p>'Calbourne' was the first engine acquired by the embryonic Steam Railway in 1967 and the last survivor of a class that once numbered sixty strong. Originally constructed in 1891 at the Nine Elms locomotive works of the London and South Western Railway to a design by William Adams, Chief Mechanical Engineer. The engine was taken out of service in 2002 and after an overhaul re-entered service in 2010. ‘Calbourne’ completed her most recent overhaul during 2020, and returned to steam in time for the railway’s 50th Anniversary in 2021.<br />
