British Railways Standard Class 7MT 70000 'Britannia'
The 143 ton British Railways Standard Class 7MT 4-6-2 Pacific (better known as the Britannia class) number 70000 'Britannia' in dock at Ipswich Station on July 27th 1991 to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the Eastern Counties Railway.
70000 was designed by Robert Riddles and built at Crewe Works in 1951 and was withdrawn in 1966.
70000 along with the rest of the 'Brit's' had a ludicrously short service life.
