About 65 years ago I drove 6819 Highnam Grange at Hengoed high level - shunting! Not too easy with screw reversing...

Quite a few people seem to have regretted the lack of a preserved "Grange." Well, here it is! Amazing.

What an amazing and beautiful locomotive. Long may she ride the rails for many years. She is a credit to all who have worked on her, from the design stage to the full build. And to all those who continue to work on her. Very best wishes. 👍🚂

The British have done it again! A locomotive class is no longer extinct and it a Great Western class! May Betton Grange do her fallen sisters, the GWR legacy, and those who built her proud.

A marvellous achievement but why in BR livery - this is a Great Western locomotive. It saddens me that so many preserved GWR 4-6-0's are in BR colours, it seems to deny their heritage and could possibly be misleading for people who are new to steam.

The BR livery looks great. The green colour is pretty much the same as the GW livery. The only thing that I would change would be to use the Cycling Lion logo instead of the later BR logo, but it is the owner's choice whatever. I once painted a diesel loco green and put a GW coat of arms decal on the cab- totally unauthentic, but it looked nice (the one in my channel icon)

I saw this in its early stages of construction alongside 'The unknown Warrior' at Llangollen about 6 years ago. How come this is steaming and 'The Unknown warrior' is in much the same state as when I saw it?

the llangollen railway was where she was being constructed but, the railway said they would stop building her to focus on their own locos in 2018. so she needed a new home and covid happened, now her new home is at tyseley.
Incedible. Never thought I would see a Grange again. What a remarkeable achievement.

@@richardharrold9736 It was the OP who used the term 'remarkable'.. not me! Just to clarify... the boiler and wheelsets are pre-existing items - frames, cab and cylinder block are new build. This mirrors the original Grange series which were rebuilds of earlier Churchward 2-6-0 locomotives.

It's so nice to see that Betton Grange is finally in steam and that another long-lost class of steam locomotive has been recreated. I'm looking forward to seeing her at the Gloucestershire and Warwickshire Railway in late May alongside Lady of Legend, Dinmore Manor, Foremarke Hall and other GWR locomotives. 😊👍

Agreed except for 'Lady'. Few people alive can remember the Star Class, but the distinctive characters of the Halls, Manors and Granges mean a lot to millions of former train spotters.
