Posted by: Steve Frost, European Editor on Sep 12, 2021 @ 05:09:31
The recently uploaded photo is of the original "Blyth" which was scrapped long ago, so this gives you an indication of what is being built at the moment, but it is not the new one!

British Railways 2-6-0 No. 62005

Posted by: Dale W Fickes on Sep 11, 2021 @ 08:09:19
Re 62005. Whilst being built to a LNER basic design, may I suggest that this locomotive should more correctly be designated “British Railways” (being delivered from North British in June 1949, eighteen months after nationalisation) rather the than ‘London & North Eastern Railway’, for whom it may well have been originally ordered!
