At just over 120 years old the LNWR Coal Tank is back. After a complete heavy rebuild by the custodians, the Bahamas society, it is back in steam. It is the oldest working locomotive in the national collection. Much work on the boiler including new side sheets and a complete new cylinder block replacing the cracked one. Should be in stem at the Feb steam festival at Keighley Worth Valley, then out to tour the country on various preserved lines.
My thanks to Geoff Cryer for this picture of the coal tank in time past
