The locomotive had just worked that day’s Summer Saturday, Yarmouth to Manchester passenger service, from March, and it is reported to have been the last ‘Sandringham’ Class engine to have visited Sheffield. This locomotive, along with the other March M.P.D. allocated Class B17 locomotives had worked the Harwich to Liverpool boat trains since 1950.
Built by the London and North-Eastern Railway, Darlington Locomotive Works, to unknown works number, as Class B17/1, in 1933, and delivered, new, most probably to Cambridge M.P.D., (Shed Code CAM), on 25/05/1933, where it acquired the number, No.2841, and the name, ‘Gayton Hall’. The locomotive is recorded as being allocated, to Cambridge M.P.D., (Shed Code CAM), on 31/07/1938, and again, on 01/01/1948. The locomotive was transferred to March M.P.D., (Shed No.31B), in 1952, where it was to remain until it was officially withdrawn from service, on 28/01/1960. It is reported that the locomotive was transferred, to British Railways, Stratford Locomotive Works, shortly thereafter, and that it was scrapped there, sometime during March 1960. The locomotive was renumbered, as No.1641, in August 1946, by the London and North Eastern Railway, and then again renumbered, as No.61641, in February 1949, by British Railways, when it was also, rebuilt, and re-designated, as Class B17/6.
