Hello and welcome to my latest video from the East Lancashire Railway in Bury. Today was the 1st day of the 3 day 'Legends of Stream weekend featuring the locos listed below.
BR Standard, Class 7, 70000 ‘Britannia’ - Built in Crewe Works for British Railways in 1951, this engine was the first British Railways standard locomotive to be built and the first of 55 locomotives of the Britannia class.
LNER, A4, 60007 ‘Sir Nigel Gresley’ - This engine emerged from Doncaster Works of the London and North Eastern Railway in early 1936 and bears the distinction of being the 100th locomotive built to the designs of the LNER’s Chief Mechanical Engineer, Sir Nigel Gresley.
LMS, Jubilee Class, 45690 ‘Leander’ - Built the same year as 60007 at Crewe, Leander was named for a Navy Ship which was in turn named after a hero of ancient Greek mythology. It originally started life under the number 5690, but was renumbered 45690 when the railways were nationalised.
LYR, 11305 - Recently renumbered from 51456, and built by Beyer Peacock in 1881 for the Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway. Originally numbered 752. The majority of it’s restoration was undertaken at Yates Duxbury in Heap Bridge, Heywood by members of the L&Y Saddletank Fund, now L&YR Trust. The chimney was previously used by 11305 as used at Horwich Works, hence the renumbering of ‘752’.
