Product Code: R3994
Production Details:
LNER 4495 'Great Snipe', soon after
renamed 'Golden Fleece' was delivered from Doncaster
Works in 1937. After entering service 'Golden Fleece'
was chosen to haul the 'West Riding Limited',
effectively another 'Coronation' express but serving
Newcastle and Bradford rather than Edinburgh. Under
Thompson's 1946 numbering scheme the locomotive became
No. 30, later becoming British Railways 60030 following
nationalization. The locomotive was eventually withdrawn
in 1962. Tech Specs:
