Description
Class 62 "Yankee Tank" steam locomotives are a pattern build of the World War II USATC S100 Class 0-6-0T Switcher/Shunters designed by Colonel Howard G Hill. Many of these locomotives saw service in the UK - including 14 on the Southern Railway plus a number in industrial service with Austin Motors/BMC at Longbridge, the NCB in the North East and on the Longmoor Military Railway. Four original US built and two Yugoslavian built locomotives are preserved in the UK.
In January 2016 both 30075 and 30076 were moved to the Shillingstone: Project 62 and North Dorset Railway are working well together to secure the futures of these locomotives. After much preparation work, the overhaul of 30075 started in May 2016.
