Lore for Haunter (in the C.R.R. universe) basically. Lore: Built in January of 1912 by the LBSCR, H2 class Atlantic, number 426 "St. Alban's Head" would enter service. Following the formation of Southern Railways he would be renumbered to 2426. Another formation later and again, he would be renumbered to 32426. Following withdrawl in August of 1956 the he would be purchased by the ORR where he would be renamed to "Haunter" and get a rebuild with new cylinders, new cab, new whistle and safety valve, a new runningboard without splashers, and a top feed. Around the end of 1971 the ORR would face financial troubles as a result engines and rolling stock would be sold off, the C.R.R. looking for a new passenger engine would purchase Haunter in January of 1972. Haunter would arrive to the railway on the evening of January 10th and would undergo a trial run the very next day. Around 2010 or so Haunter would be rebuilt back to his original H2 class appearance. Following the completion of the Beachy Head replica, Haunter would be sent to the Bluebell Railway to reunite with his new sibling. Haunter would spend 2 months there before returning to the C.R.R. in November.
