Following the Foxfield Railway's Summer Steam Gala, July 22nd 2018, Bellerophon, was withdrawn for its ten year boiler overhaul. Bearing all its Victorian elegance it was built in 1874 by Haydock Foundry, near St Helens, Lancashire, it worked at Haydock Collieries. After a working life of ninety years, Berllerophon finally retired in 1964 since when it has been a popular engine, running on a number of heritage railways. Its exploits on the 1 in 19 Foxfield Bank have become legendary for a locomotive nearly 150 years old.
