BR Standard Class 7 Pacific No.70000 'Britannia' runs round at Yarwell on 16th March 2025, during its second stint of 'Best of British' weekend services on the Nene Valley Railway.
Built at Crewe in 1951, No.70000 was the first of the 999 BR Standard steam locomotives to be completed, and the first in the 55-strong Class 7 fleet. The Class 7s combined various elements from Big Four design practices to provide a powerful and versatile two-cylinder Pacific design, with a lighter axle loading and an emphasis on ease of maintenance.
