Photos taken at the Bluebell Railway 2007 Giants of Steam.

As well as the regular Bluebell engines, there were two visiting engines. Both were Bulleid light pacific engines - West Country Class no.34007 'Wadebridge' and Battle of Britain Class no. 34081 '92 Squadron'.

The weather was warm and sunny - just perfect to see these Giants of Steam in the Sussex countryside.

Visiting engine no. 34081 '92 Squadron' was not running well. Both steam and water was escaping from places they shouldn't. The train limped up to Kingscote and then back down to Sheffield Park where some running repairs were made
