Antwerp has been moved to New Bridge loading point on the North Yourkshire Moors Railway (NYMR) whilst documentation is signed off later this week and before transport is being arranged.

This historical locomotive has been standing at the NYMR (the line featured in the ‘Heartbeat’ TV series), out of use for about 25 years and requires major boiler and mechanical work before returning to service.

The Kent Coast Locomotive Group (KCLG) has already dealt with one locomotive of this type. All the members of this group belong to the Remembrance Line Association and have earmarked this locomotive for exclusive use on ‘The Remembrance Line’. In full working order these powerful locomotives are ideal for tackling the steep 1 in 30 incline on the Folkestone Harbour Branch.
