Description

78019 at Thurcaston on the Great Central Railway

78019 LMS and BR Class 2 Locomotive seen here just after leaving Rothley station on it's journey to Leicester North. Darlington works was responsible for building the entire fleet of 65 engines and for a time construction of the LMS and BR designs overlapped. The last No.78064 was completed in 1956 but the class remained intact for just seven years. Coincidentally the first to be withdrawn No.78015 was a Darlington-based engine.
