Swanage Railway supporter Sean Dowse has spotted Swanage Railway resident locomotive, ex-BR 2-6-4T Class 4MT Tank Engine No. 80078, at the Great Dorset Steam Fair September 2011.

Owned by Southern Locomotives Ltd, and withdrawn from service for a major overhaul, 80078 was on static display. 80078 also thrilled the crowds when it starred as a heavy haulage load in the arena on the Allely's transporter and steam-hauled by several traction engines.
