Good old Black 5

And one dear to my heart as a Lancastrian.

LMS Stanier Black 5 No45407 'The Lancashire Fusilier' crosses The River Wyre at Scorton, Lancashire.

What an excellent shot. A lot of my courting days were spent in Scorton.

I could tell you some stories about Black 5's

Tell us some stories about Black 5s

Only one without naming names or the guilty


The tender on at least one Black 5 was recovered from Barry where had spent years on a slight curve, which resulted in the frames taking up a slight curve and took a good few years of buggering up axel box's before they straightened themselves out
