4003. 'Lode Star'.

19.1.2019.

GWR Churchward designed '4000' Class 4-6-0 No 4003 'Lode Star' stands in the main hall at the NRM.

 

A remarkably successful class - a four cylinder locomotive based in parts on the French De Glehn design.

Seventy three Class 4000 locomotives were built between 1906 and 1926 - four of which were rebuilt as Castles.
