@MCRSxNOTxEMO The bluebell railway owns three SE&CR P class locomotive. 323 Bluebell, 27 Primrose and 178 Nettle. The latter of which only steamed for the first time in preservation last year. Primrose is under heavy overhaul and 323 Bluebell is not yet fully operational as there are problems with it's valves. This loco in the video is No.753 Pride of Sussex, owned by the Kent and East Sussex Railway. Hope this helps.
@SteamMad That is not nettle. Nettle is no.178. This is 753 Pride of Sussex, on loan from the Kent and East Sussex railway. Check the date of the video. and Bluebell still isn't in service yet due to faulty valves. Get your information right before you comment.
