78059, BR Standard Class 2MT 2-6-0

A BR Standard Class 2 2-6-0 of 1956, now being rebuilt at the Bluebell Railway as a 2-6-2 tank engine and numbered 84030. The Standard Class 2 tender and tank designs shared most of their parts, and no Class 84 tank survived, so the conversion recreates a type that would otherwise be extinct.

Location and status last confirmed Bluebell Railway, August 2026. Subject to verification.

Being converted to the tank version of the class at the Bluebell Railway, with the intention of renumbering it 84030 to reflect the new configuration.

No owner or livery is recorded here; the source consulted gives the location and status but not those details.
