The Brighton Atlantic locomotives were some of the most handsome
machines ever constructed at Brighton Works. They were signed by
the D. Earl Marsh, Locomotive Superintendent of the London Brighton
and South Coast Railway, and produced as two classes, the H1,
introduced in 1905-1906, and the H2, introduced in 1911-1912. The
Brighton Atlantic type has had a following among enthusiasts and
model engineers for over a century, with many fine examples of
models of these machines being constructed in all scales, both as
live steam and electric powered. Great interest is still there
today, with many models of these fine locomotives on show at model
engineering exhibitions and on smaller scale Brighton or Southern
layouts. The Bluebell Railway in East Sussex is currently
constructing a full-size replica of the last H2 Atlantic (Beachy
Head) in a workshop at Sheffield Park, using some parts from the
original locomotive and a rescued Great Northern Atlantic boiler.
The project to construct a replica machine has aroused a great deal
of public interest in this design of locomotive.At this time there
are no books available on the market for anyone who would like to
construct a model on, or take an interest in, the replica project
on the Bluebell Railway.
