No. 73082 Camelot is a preserved British Railways Standard Class 5 4-6-0 based on the Bluebell Railway in Sussex, England, and owned by the 73082 Camelot Locomotive Society. She was outshopped from Derby Works in 1955, and worked on the Southern Region of British Railways. In August 1959, she received the name Camelot from withdrawn Urie King Arthur Class engine no. 30742.

Withdrawal

In 1966, she was sent to Woodham Brothers for scrapping. She languished at Barry Docks until 1979 when purchased by the 73082 Camelot Locomotive Society, and moved to the Bluebell Railway for restoration alongside Battle of Britain Pacific 34059 Sir Archibald Sinclair.

Restoration and operation on the Bluebell Railway

It returned to steam in 1995 after a protracted overhaul at Sheffield Park and put in almost ten years of service on the Bluebell Railway until withdrawal for a ten year overhaul in June 2005.

Camelot returned to service on the Bluebell Railway for the second time on 25 October 2015.[1]

On 18 September 2018, Camelot made her first visit away from the Bluebell Railway, being hauled to the West Somerset Railway for their Autumn Steam Gala, being hauled over the mainline by Class 37 diesel 37 668, returning on the 1 October in the same way.
