An historic return to Swanage for visiting Ivatt Std 2 2-6-2 tank number 41312. This locomotive had worked the Swanage branch in the 1960s and hauled the last steam service on the Brockenhurst to Lymington branch. Here she waits in the loop on Swanage station duty |

Ivatt Std 2 tank - 41312 - waits in the Swanage loop for the arrival of the last steam service of the day. |

The Ivatt tank attaches to a rake of carriages in the Swanage platform - the train having arrived at Swanage under the control of Port Line and 257 Squadron. |
