I thought Bellerophon was as withdrawn from service?

[@preservedrailway]

Yep now out of service, awaiting her next overhaul. This is a collection of footage from during her last ticket from Foxfield and visits to the Severn Valley, Middleton and Churnet Valley Railways.

[@alexcanine4948]

preservedrailway okay so when do you think you”ll predict when Bellerophon will be back in service?

[@SteamingThroughYorkshire]

Hi Alex, i am a volunteer at the Vintage Carriages trust, we are not too sure what will happen about overhaul yet. but at some point she will undergo a cosmetic overhaul until funds are raised for a full one... Have a nice day :)

@@alexcanine4948 anything else you wish to know?

[@RailRocketRicky]

How do pronounce the name of this locomotive?

[@glynluff2595]

The RN warship after which the engine was probably named was always known as the Billy Ruffian. It took Napoleon to his exile.

[@SteamingThroughYorkshire]
