London Midland & Scottish Railway 4-6-0 No. 45000 (5000)

Posted by: Russell Newman on Dec 2, 2024 @ 15:12:04
This is the history of ex LMS Black Five 4-6-0 No. 5000, which was the first of the Crewe built Stanier designed Black Fives and the alleged prototype of the Class to be built for the London Midland & Scottish Railway in 1935. But not the first to be built as that fell to No. 5020 from the very first batch built by the Vulcan foundry works in 1934. No. 5000 was built with a low degree superheat domeless boiler. It was later numbered to No. 45000 under British Railways from 1948 and was later withdrawn from service in May 1967, having been shedded at Lostock Hall Depot during its last months of service with BR. No. 45000 was selected to represent the Black Fives as part of the National Collection and was stored at Preston Park in Brighton for some years. In 1977 No. 45000 was loaned to the Severn Valley Railway, where it was restored to full working order and back to its LMS livery as No. 5000, there in 1979 in time for it to take part in the Rocket 150 celebrations at Rainhill in May 1980. During the 1980s No. 5000 enjoyed several good seasons operating at the Severn Valley Railway as well as some mainline running as well. It was withdrawn from service following a failed steam test at the start of the 1989 season, and was returned to the National Railway Museum in the spring of 1991 and went on static display at York. No. 5000 was moved for display at Locomotion at Shildon in Durham, where it remains on current display there.

Posted by: Douglas Bailey on Dec 1, 2024 @ 20:12:28
A user has suggested that this locomotive has been moved to Phnom Penh, but the EXIF data in the image taken by Alan Short indicates that the locomotive was inside the Battambang Railway Shed in March of 2019. We could find no information to corroborate the suggestion made by site visitor Hai Pang, so no change to the location of this locomotive has been made.

London Midland & Scottish Railway 4-6-0 No. 45025 (5025)

Posted by: Russell Newman on Nov 27, 2024 @ 06:11:15
This is the history of ex LMS Black Five 4-6-0 No. 5025, which is the oldest Black Five in preservation as it was from the very first batch of Stanier designed Black Fives to be built at the Vulcan Foundry at Newton-le-Willows in Lancashire in 1934 for the London Midland & Scottish Railway. No. 5025 was based in Scotland from August 1934 until October 1935 when it moved to Liverpool Edge Hill Depot. In 1939 while hauling an express passenger train from London Euston to Stranraer (piloting a Royal Scot class 4-6-0 No. 6130) was involved in a bad accident when it was in collision with another locomotive No. 9169 an LNWR 0-8-0 class G2A, which was attaching a van to the rear of an Inverness train at Bletchley station in Buckinghamshire. Four people were killed and more than 30 were injured. Numbered as No. 45025 in British Railways days, its last shed on BR was Carnforth shed from April 1966. From February 1968, No. 45025 was regularly rostered on the last BR steam hauled named train the "Belfast Boat Express" from Manchester to Heysham. It often achieved a speed of 80mph whilst hauling this train before ceasing to do so in May 1968. No. 45025 was another end of steam survivor when it was withdrawn from service in August 1968 at the end of steam operations on BR. Its last task was to double heading with sister Black Five No. 45390 on the Carnforth- Hellifield-Lostock Hall leg of the Locomotive Club of Great Britain‘s Farewell to Steam railtour on the 4th of August 1968. No. 45025 was purchased for preservation by Scottish railway heritage pioneer, Ted Watkinson for use on the Strathspey Railway. In 1969 No. 45025 was sent to the Hunslet Engine Company in Leeds for a full overhaul and restored to its LMS livery and number No. 5025. But at the time the Strathspey Railway was not ready for heritage operations yet, so from 1969, No. 5025 was loaned to the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway where it operated trains there until 1974 when it finally was able to move to its new home at the Strathspey Railway at Aviemore in Scotland. From 1975 it then went for another overhaul at Andrew Barclay’s works in Kilmarnock in May that year and enjoyed another few years operating at the Strathspey Railway as well as some mainline running from 1981 to 1983 until it was withdrawn again in 1993. After a time in storage, another overhaul began in 2012 which was to be quite a rebuild which was completed in 2021. No. 5025 has been put back to near original condition as it would have looked when it left the Vulcan Foundry works in 1934 with a slightly taller chimney now 2½ inches taller in line with the first fifty Black Fives built at Vulcan Voundry then. It also has been fitted with a domeless boiler and the step between the frame plates has been removed. There are a number of other changes which are less visible. Today No. 5025 is still a good performer at the Strathspey Railway working trains through some spectacular Scottish Highland scenary there.
