"Britannia Class" British Railways Standard Class 7 70013 'Oliver Cromwell' seen on a visit to Portsmouth in July 2009 on a Cathedrals Express Charter operated by WCRC with Class 37 37706 at the rear as a back up locomotive.
Fifty five Standard Class 7s were built in the early 1950s and they lasted until the very last day of steam operation in 1968 and two examples have survived into preservation, 70000 which is currently based in Crewe and is mainline certified. 70013 is currently awaiting an overhaul at the Great Central Railway but holds the distinction of hauling the final steam operated train on BR the 'Fifteen Guinea Special' from Liverpool to Carlisle on August 11th 1968, 45110 took the charter to Manchester where 70013 took over for the remainder of the journey to Carlisle.
I think I might have to add my other versions of this in the comments. I had colour, black and white, colour with texture, and this one black and white with texture.
Couldn't decide. Oh sundays.

Photograph by my brother who got a better shot than i did! A southbound ex Norwich Class 90 service train obscured the view milliseconds later. Posted here with kind permission.
Me in the drivers seat on 70013!
I've sort of an idea here on how to get it going.. ;-)

The railway should honestly fine him £1,000 for trespassing. If it costs that much for us humans, then why should the animal kingdom get any perks?
Many thanks to my brother for taking this photo, I was at the other end of the station chatting.

DMU Class 158 'Express Sprinter', 158847 and 70013 at Norwich Station.
Not the best shot i've ever taken!
First shot! (after the light test, but who really counts those?)
I only took 2 like this and they both came out really well. =D
Did anyone else find the backdrop looked especially dirty this time around? I don't usually have to heal backgrounds so much haha.
Lighting: group effort!

My favourite steam locomotive (by far), British Railways standard Class 7MT 70013 'Oliver Cromwell' at just 3 months old at Trowse near Norwich in 1951.
This is a very special steam locomotive. It is one of only two left out of a batch of 55 locomotives, Oliver Cromwell was built at Crewe Railway Works in May 1951and delivered to Norwich Crown Point Depot soon after.
This actual locomotive ran the last steam passenger train prior to the withdrawal of
steam altogether on British Railways on August 11th 1968. The very next day August 12th 1968 she arrived in Norwich en route for Bressingham Steam Museum at Diss in Norfolk.
Restoration began to bring 'her' back to steam in 2004 at the Great Central Railway Centre in Loughborough and on August 10th 2008, 70013 ran on the Network for the first time in 40 years.
70013's safety valves have lifted while at Norwich station.. too much pressure in the boiler. Quite a normal event on a steam engine.

British Rail Standard Class 7 70000 Britannia climbs past Althrop heading the return working Windsor to Crewe
BR Standard Class 7 No.70000 'Britannia' powers on towards Biggleswade on 23rd July 2025 with a Steam Dreams 'London to York' excursion (07:48 London King's Cross-York (1Z70). No apparent signs of trouble at this point in the excursion, which ultimately saw 'Britannia' being taken off after being declared a failure near Peterborough. No.70000 would later limp its way along the Nene Valley Railway to Wansford, where it is presently stabled for repairs.
70013 is uncoupled and moves down for a coal refill at Holt Station on the North Norfolk Railway.
Note the woman who walks into me at the end. I don't think i'll bother too much with Flickr video from now on as the compression quality is rubbish. I'll upload videos to my YouTube channel instead.
