    Now that we're coming to the end of the Olympics and Paralypic games this weekend, I was wondering if their is a list of which steam locomotives were involved during the olympic torch relays? The only ones that come to mind are 8F 48524 & Black 5 45305 (on the Great Central Railway) Manor Class 7800 7812 Erlestoke Manor (on the Severn Valley). There are bound to be others; can anyone add to the list please?

    The Snowdon Mountain Rly was involved as well, getting Sir C. Bonnington to Snowdon summit. Not sure which loco was used, just hope it wasn't a diesel

    I think you'll find it was 48624 on the GCR, 48524 was scrapped long ago. 48624 was T&T with 45305.
