9F Evening Star the last of a very very long line

92220 Evening Star was the last steam locomotive built by British Rail, and has for many years been a static exhibit at the National Railway Museum in York, where it resides today.

 

 

After being displayed at the "Locomotion" museum at Shildon, County Durham, the engine returned to its birthplace, Swindon Works, on 3 September 2008. Evening Star was exhibited for two years at the Swindon 'Steam' Railway Museum, swapping places with the GWR locomotive King George V. The locomotive has now returned to York.
