LNWR Royal Train at NRM Shildon

Description

London and North Western Railway (LNWR) Webb Precedent-class 2-4-0 steam locomotive No. 790 Hardwicke (Crewe, 1873) sits at the head of a turn-of-the-century royal train at the National Railway Museum's Shildon Locomotion Museum.  Though rather spindly-looking, Hardwicke probably could pull this train at 70 miles per hour, as it once did pulling an express train up Shap Summit.

They just haven't the lamps to stick on the front to indicate the Royal Train.

Lovely loco and one I never saw running as I hadn't been born
