A vintage steam engine is celebrating its 130th anniversary at a Mid Sussex railway.
The Fenchurch is the second oldest working engine in the country and was built in September 1872 at Brighton railway works.
When it first went into service, the Terrier Class engine worked between Victoria and London Bridge.
It was then bought by the Newhaven Harbour Company and worked in the port during the First World War.
The engine was later acquired by the Southern Railway Company, serving the London to Brighton route, before being transferred to the Havant to Hayling Island line.
The Bluebell Railway, based at Sheffield Park, bought the Fenchurch for £750 in 1964.
John Bloom, of the Bluebell Railway, said: "It can be seen regularly at the Bluebell Railway, pulling a couple of wooden body coaches, which are in keeping with it.
"It's very small for a steam engine and weighs only about 27 to 28 tons."
