Terrier Trust to outshop 'Rooter' as LBSCR Poplar

AN OPERATIONAL example of William Stroudley's popular 'Terrier'0-6--0Ts will once again carry the London, Brighton & South Coast Railway's (LBSCR) yellow ochre livery when the Terrier Trust's No. 3 Bodiam returns to steam after overhaul in 2022.

The last UK-based'Terrier'to run in Stroudley's livery, often referred to as'lmproved Engine Green; was the Bluebell Railway's 'A 1 X' No. 55 Stepney in c2009.

The livery is also carried by 'A 1'/'A 1 X' hybrid No. 54 Waddon at Exporail in Canada, and 'A 1 'No. 82 Boxhi/1 at the National Railway Museum, but like Stepney these locos are on static display and not capable of being steamed.

Bodiam is currently under overhaul at North Norfolk Railway Engineering's Weybourne works as part of the Terrier Trust's £150,000'Terrier 150' appeal. This was launched in early-2019 to fund parallel overhauls of together with No. 32678
