MERLIN 27
45407 ATHERSTONE 2344 DE Y-
Sporting a new coat of BR black Ian Riley's LMS Black 5 4-6-0 45407 'The Lancashire Fusilier' looks very smart at the beginning of the 2017 railtour season as it passes Atherstone station with the 10:11 5Z90 Castleton - Southall WCRC engine & POB move on 16th March 2017. 45407 and Ian Riley's other Black 5 44871 have been regular visitors to the WCML in recent years to undertake railtours in the South of England, in many cases acting as thunderbirds for other unavailable locomotives. This move was to enable 45407 to haul RYTC's Bath & Bristol Steam Express from Three Bridges to Bristol and return on 18th March before heading north to Grosmont on 21st March with 46100 'Royal Scot' to undertake duties on the NYMR
