DispositionUnder Construction

No.72010 Hengist is a steam locomotive which is under construction as a "new-build" project. The design is based on the mixed traffic BR Standard 6 Clan Class, none of which were preserved.[1] The project is akin to the construction of the 60163 Tornado.

The project maintains a build diary, showing monthly progress of the build which has been ongoing since 2010.[2]
