The '4700' class 2-8-0s of the GWR, Part 2 < The BR Days. This is the follow up article to the first part that appeared in the May 2013 issue of the magazine, which proved to be very popular.

The Scottish-based BR 'Britannia Pacific 'Firths'. Five of the very popular BR 'Britannia' Pacifics were named after Scottish 'Firths, and four of these spent all their early life working in Scotland. STEAM DAYS IN COLOUR 103: The LNER 'B2'/'B17' 4-6-0s. These popular locomotives were all named after either stately homes or football teams and were much sought after by enthusiasts. They were working in Eastern England, East Anglia, and the North East. A great all-colour photo-feature.
