The second of the Britannias, 70004 William Shakespeare. This one was the last loco to be repaired at Darlington so I've dirtied it up a bit, though not as filthy as it was when it arrived for a bent right-hand deflector to be fixed.
A pair of new 3MT tanks by Graham Farish. 82028 is the Farish model straight out of the box apart from weathering and changing the offside lion for a heraldically incorrect one. 82027 was new as an early-crest 82016. Both of these locos were allocated to 51-group sheds for passenger service over the Stainmore line, where they replaced J21s. When these services finished they moved to the Whitby area then on to the Southern Region in 1963.
