FMcbwnegs2383 61264 Boston
No precise date for this one taken at Boston, but Thomson B1 61264 is carrying AWS so we think it is the early 60's.
The loco was new from the North British to the LNER in December 1947 as 1264. Withdrawl was in December 1965 and the loco went into departmental use as a mobile boiler for heating Carriages as 29 until July 1967. In 1968 it became the only LNER loco to be sent to Woodhams at Barry where it was bought from in 1973. Today the loco is at the Great Central Nottingham undergoing an overhaul including a new Inner Firebox, tender tanks and new tyres. It will also be fitted out for using Digital Signals.
