Pristine Condition
1st April 2018. Pulling into Platform Four at Bury Bolton Street is LMS 5MT Crab 2-6-0 No.13065 with a service from Heywood. The Crab would be continueing its journey with an all stations stopping train to Rawtenstall.
It seems a long time a go that we saw LMS No.13065 in action as it was decided in 2018 that if it went for over-haul now it would not coincide with a City Of Wells [another ELR loco ] over-haul which would be the same year. As it turns out both locomotives could be out of action at the same time as the LMS 5MT Crab 2-6-0 No.13065 has just been pushed back and further back for unforseen circumstances. Hopefully the ELR will launch an appeal for the Crab when this lockdown has finished.
