LNER A4 Class 4-6-2 No. 60019 Bittern [as 4492 Dominion of New Zealand] arriving at Salisbury Railway Station to take on water just after 10am on Wednesday 31st August 2011. Hauling the Bath Spa Express (from Poole to Bristol).
60019 Bittern (A Class A4 streamlined 4-6-2 locomotive) was built in 1937 at the Doncaster Works. Designed by Nigel Gresley for the London and North Eastern Railway.
During the winter of 2010/2011 she received maintenance which included cosmetic renaming and renumbering as scrapped classmate 4492 Dominion of New Zealand (BR number 60013). This conversion also included repainting in LNER Garter Blue, the fitting of Gresley's original side valances and the painting of its wheels in their original red colouring. She is due to remain in this livery for 3 years.
