Yorkshire and Lancashire 0-6-0 Beyer Peacock

On the same shed visit I caught L&Y 957. She
had just come out of service at the end of her
boiler certificate.
 
 
This was the engine christened 'Green Dragon'
in the film 'The Railway Children'

 
Now on display at Oxenhope Exhibition Hall

 
Thank goodness it was saved as was 1300 on the
East Lancashire Railway

 
They were Spartan times for the engine crews with
very little cover on our wind and snow swept hills

 
So go along and take a look close up while you can
