Revive-ation?
Anyway, below is a statement from the Claud Hamilton Locomotive Preservation Group who intend on reviving another lost steam loco, No. 8783 'Phoenix'. You could say it's a 'Phoenix from the Flames'!
We aim to build and operate a standard gauge 4-4-0 D16/2 "Claud Hamilton" steam locomotive No.8783 to be named "Phoenix" and dedicated to James Holden who became Locomotive Superintendent at the Great Eastern Railway in July 1885.
The locomotive will be numbered 8783, this was the number given to one of two Claud Hamiltons allocated to Royal Train duties. Although 8783 was never named we will be naming the new build "Phoenix".
The loco will be used primarily on heritage railways, although we are looking into possible mainline use.
We should be holding two public meetings this summer where you can come along, hear about our plans and ask us questions about the project. The dates, times and locations will be announced shortly.
