Bluebell Railway. LBSCR Terrier 0-6-0T #55 re-liveried as DS377, the Brighton Works shunter on Sunday June 6th, 1999. When I was a trainspotter at Brighton in 1956 & 1957, they were still building steam locomotives there and a terrier was repainted into Stroudley's LBSCR Improved Engine Green and lettered this way. Note: Improved Engine Green is not a green livery but an improvement on the previous green carried before 1870. It's golden yellow with olive green borders.
