British Railways Class E4 number 32473 at the Bluebell Railway in 2008

BR 0-6-2T Class E4 number 32473 in lined black livery hauling a rake of BR Mk1 coaches (in blood & custard and green livery) and also a short freight.
The locomotive was originally built by the London, Brighton & South Coast Rly (LBSCR) in 1898 as number 473 'Birch Grove'. It was withdrawn from BR service in October 1962 and purchased by the Bluebell Railway.
The video was taken on a photo charter organised by Jon Bowers. Many thanks to Jon and the railway staff for arranging this event.

Nice video! I love the E4 class, and that train of wagons with ZFV ‘Dogfish’ hoppers was an interesting touch!

I agree; Even though their performance was more so mediocre, I feel like preserving atleast one of them would be nice. After all, we all know what chararcter they would later inspire:😉
