Sir Nigel Gresley – No. 60007
£14.95
In stock
This new edition in the Great Steam Locomotive series witnesses the A4 following its overhaul between 2015 and 2021. We see it in service and on test at the Severn Valley Railway in 2022 where it was turned out in wartime black and numbered 4498.
After a repaint into early BR blue livery, the locomotive attended an Easter event at the Nene Valley Railway in 2023 followed by main line charters in the north west and south west which took the engine to Kingswear on several occasions. No. 60007 Sir Nigel Gresley last ran in BR service in the mid 1960s after which it was purchased for preservation by the A4 Locomotive Society. It was unusually, overhauled and restored to LNER garter blue livery as No. 4498 at the former LMS Crewe works in 1967, which still had steam expertise available. It then returned to BR tracks to haul enthusiast’s specials, something which it has been renowned for ever since.
Sir Nigel Gresley has always had a special place in the hearts of LNER fans after being named after that railway’s Chief Mechanical Engineer at Marylebone station on 26th November 1937. The locomotive had a short spell away from main line duties between 1968 and 1972 when BR’s infamous steam ban was in force. Later its forays from Carlisle tended to be associated with the Settle & Carlisle line. We see Sir Nigel Gresley at work on main line duties, as well as performing on some of our most prestigious preserved lines.
Also featured the locomotive in 1988 lined up for a photographic call alongside Mallard and Bittern as Silver Link, to mark its sister
locomotive Mallard’s 50th anniversary.
