    Who, 43 years ago, could have forsaw that in the year 2011, Black 5 45212 would be in service hauling regular trains.

    Today, on the famous anniversary, 45212 performs her duties on the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway

    Meanwhile you could have shaved with a bit of 45318 !

    Wouldn't it be interesting to be able to track down where & in what form the steel from various locos ended up.
