The East Lancashire Railway has announced a change of locomotive for its upcoming Legends of Steam Gala.
Originally, it was planned that LMS Black 5 No. 45407 The Lancashire Fusilier would be running at the event, but now, LMS Black 5 No. 44871 will be running instead.
44871 appears thanks to Riley and Son Ltd.
Of course, 44871 was made famous when it hauled part of the Fifteen Guinea Special in 1968 but is now mainly seen on the mainline, hauling tours and the ever popular Jacobite in Scotland.
44871 will be running alongside 60163 Tornado, 34081 92 Squadron and 34092 City of Wells.
