@@upwellonwards7373 As a child just after the war, B1's endlessly trundled past the end of my street. I loved them. In 2018 I was happily transported back to my youth behind 61264 from Pickering to Whitby and back. One of only 2 saved out of 410 built. Lovely engine....

@@logotrikes that would of been great and truthfully not mainly LNER types survived the 60s most are sole survivors only survivors in any large number are the A4 class compared to southern and western locos preserved LNER locos are rare

@@upwellonwards7373 All down to a lot of LNER stock being dismantled by our local scrap merchant Albert Draper in Hull Yorkshire. He got the contract to scrap over 700 of the things. He saved one loco. A Black 5, "the cleanest in the yard" and then named it for himself. Scrap is scrap I guess, and he had a business to run, so he can perhaps be forgiven for having no vested interest in actually saving any. Dai Woodham deserves a lot of praise for his foresight, but again, it was only because he got a contract to scrap an endless supply of rolling stock that loco's were shelved to be scrapped later. And it's very fortunate that it worked out that way. We could have ended up with none, and steam traction could have passed into history with barely a look back.... I've watched many videos of Woodham's yard as the locos gradually turned to dust over the years, and it's heartwarming to see "before and after" shots of many of these magnificent machines being restored to their former glory....
