A87894823 - 'Calbourne' – the Isle of Wight Steam Railway's Flagship Tank Engine
I added the subheader 'The Adams Family' (but not the text below it) and paragraph:
'As Calbourne is fitted with the Westinghouse Air Brake she is incompatible with mainland railways which are fitted with vacuum brakes, and so has returned to the mainland only twice since 1925. In 2012 she toured Bodmin and Wenford Railway, Swanage Railway, the Watercress Line and Quainton Road Railways Station. In March 2019 she visited the Bluebell Railway for the an Adams family reunion. There she was reunited with fellow tank engines 415 'Radial' class 30583 for the first time in 120 years as well as B4 class 96/30096 Normandy. Between them the engines are 388 years old.'
