The "Black Five" was arguably one of the most successful mixed traffic steam locomotives. Designed by Stanier, they were described as the "go-anywhere, do-anything" locomotive and a whopping 842 were built between 1934 and 1951. Used widely across the network, the class saw usage by the LMS, in World War II and then by British Railways, with some remaining in service until the very end of BR steam in 1968. 18 Black Fives survived into preservation.

 

This engine is in excellent condition, some weathering has been tastefully added by the previous owner.  The are no marks or blemishes at all , but is missing a set of steps on one side of the engine.

 

The engine has had a light service and has been fully tested.  It is an excellent runner

 

It comes in its original box in good condition along with the service sheet​
