British Railways Standard Class 4 number 75080 4-6-0 express goods & passenger locomotive. This accurate model, which is complete with rocking grate and steam brakes was built in 1992 by Dave Wiseman for use on his fathers Medford & Willow End railway at the Polytechnic Sports Ground in Chiswick South West London.

That line sadly closed in 1998 following the proposed redevelopment of the Sports Ground (which is still to take place 3 years later) and the locomotive fleet placed in storage.

Luckily for the South Downs Light Railway, owner Dave Wiseman decided that the collection was better off being used rather than being stored and 75080 became a stalwart and much appreciated part of our fleet.
