Heralded as 'The Last Giant of Steam' for his progressive and original approach to the steam locomotive, Oliver V.S. Bulleid CBE left behind a truly staggering legacy in railway preservation.
Of 140 Bulleid Pacifics built of varying types and modifications, 31 examples have eluded the cutters torch to survive into preservation. Throughout 2019, many Bulleid pacifics have taken to the rails around the UK; from the mainline to a variety of preserved railways. Showcasing a mix of Rebuilt 'Merchant Navy' Class locomotives, and light pacifics of both As-Built and Rebuilt examples, seen working a range of duties including mainline Railtours and demonstration freight sets - carrying on the legacy.
