It would be difficult to get any closer to this beautiful steam locomotive without being on the footplate, but the EAST LANCASHIRE RAILWAY'S Volunteer Liaison Officer managed to capture this remarkable footage during the railways June steam gala, in 2006.

  • magnificant loco, shame it was the only one of it's class built

  • I agree, but in its hey day it was unsucessful. It was very difficult to steam due to a variety of faults. However these where all rectified in preservation, making it now, one of the most efficient locomotives ever built
