45428

We had a lovely family day out on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway today.  CyclopsJnr said "Choo choo" a lot and got an Engine Driver hat.
Our steed this morning, from Whitby to Grosmont.  

According to the North Yorkshire Moors Railway website:
LMS 5428 was built in 1937 by Armstrong Whitworth at Newcastle, one of an order for 227 such locomotives, the largest order ever placed by a British railway company with a private firm. A further 100 ‘Black Fives’ were also built by the firm.


Preserved in 1967 and named Eric Treacy after the former Bishop of Wakefield, an eminent railway photographer.

No. 45428 can be seen in regular use along NYMR and is passed for running to Whitby.
