Our 9th Telephone/Email Auction

Friday 18th to Sunday 20th February 2022




Very Special Smokebox Plate

Ex Black 5 No. "45110"

Pledged For Our February 2022 Auction











Black 5 No. 45110 hauled the Liverpool Lime Street to Manchester Victoria and return legs of the Fifteen Guinea Special on the 11th August 1968. Black 5 No. 45305 was allocated to handle this section of the railtour but failed the night before with a collapsed firebox brick arch and was replaced by 45110.

After hauling the Fifteen Guinea Special, 45110 was purchased for preservation by David Porter's Stanier Black Five Preservation Society late in 1968.

It was towed from Lostock Hall to Ashford in January 1969 where it occasionally was placed on show. After deciding that the locomotive should have a more active role it was considered that the Severn Valley Railway (SVR) would be a good home for it. As a result over a few days in August 1970 the engine was moved as part of a number of freight trains to Bridgnorth. It operated on the SVR in 1970 and after hydraulic testic over the winter returned to service again in 1971. In September 1971 it was named RAF Biggin Hill and at this time it was approved for running on BR track.

In 1974 it was purchased by the SVR(H).


A SOMERSET & DORSET TRIPLE TOTEM OFFER!

Three totems from the legendary and much-lamented Somerset & Dorset route, closed in 1966, comprising BR(W) HF Bath Green Park (found in a cellar in Bath after 60 years!), BR(S) FF Templecombe and BR(S) FF Bournemouth West, terminus of the "Pines Express".

All three to be offered at the next Crewe Railwayana Auction on February 18-20, 2022.

ANNOUNCEMENT - OUR NEW FACEBOOK PAGE
