Performance of LSWR ‘T3’ transformed with tweaks
THE haulage capability of LSWR‘T3’4-4-0 No. 563 has been enhanced following the implementation of several tweaks since the loco returned to service at the Swanage Railway last autumn after a 75- year absence.
No. 563 was initially limited to three carriages, but it hauled five coaches during the railway’s January 6-7 Winter Warm Up when it performed alongside SR Bulleid Pacific No. 34028 Eddystone and Class 33 diesels Nos. 33111 and D6515 (33012) Lt Jenny Lewis RN.
