Whillan Beck (4-6-2) Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway 29Jul19

The following is from the Railways website.

 

Whillan Beck (4-6-2)

Year of Build: 1929

Wheel arrangement: 4-6-2

Length: 24ft

Colour: Caledonian Railway Blue.

 

The most recent addition to our fleet, Whillan Beck was officially launched into service this May. Originally built to run at the Ibero-American Exposition in Seville and following nearly 90 years out of action, the engine, originally named Pinta, was restored in Barcelona but hadn't been steamed. Following another two years of work by the Ravenglass & Eskdale Railway Preservation Society the engine is now in full working order and can be spotted at the front of our trains very regularly!
