There’s a sad story to this locomotive. On 5 June 1965 the fire blew back from the engine’s smokebox while it was hauling the Euston-Carlisle express passenger train through Winsford station at speed.

Wally Oakes died from his burns a week later, and was posthumously awarded the George Cross for his heroism in bringing the train to a halt.
