Victory

Victory was built by Andrew Barclay and Sons Ltd. in 1945 for the Royal Navy, it was used at Chatham Dockyard in Kent until 1969. Victory then languished in a local scrapyard until 1972 when it was purchased for preservation and like No. 1, was moved to the South Eastern Steam Centre at Ashford where it was restored to working order. The move to Castle Hedingham came in 1978 and has been used regularly ever since. It is owned by the Colne Valley Railway Company and carries Royal Navy blue livery.
