Former Southern Railway 4-6-0 E850 Lord Nelson is part of the National Collection. Currently based on the Watercress Line awaiting a return to service, it was at one time a regular on the mainline. As a reminder of that happier time, it is seen here on display at an Eastleigh Works Open Day in 2009. Image Credit: Neil Kearns

Neil Kearns comes to tell us the story of 30850 Lord Nelson: preserved as part of the National Collection, in 1997 it was overhauled by the Eastleigh Railway Preservation Society and subsequently operated on the mainline, before moving to the Watercress Line, where it is currently awaiting a return to service.
