42765 (now 13065) was rescued from the famous Woodham Brothers scrapyard in Barry, South Wales and returned to revenue-earning traffic in August 1993, following restoration. After ten years reliable service on the East Lancashire Railway, the locomotive was withdrawn in 2003 when its boiler certificate expired. Following its extensive overhaul, the locomotive returned to service again in 2014 in its ‘as built’ guise carrying its original number 13065 and painted in the LMS crimson lake livery that it will have carried for the first years of its life.
You can see what they mean about those cylinders
I think the crimson lake sets her of very nicely indeed
Ramsbottom is a very lovely rural east Lancashire
town and well worth a visit
Plenty of pubs and eateries.
