Two 'Home Fleet Historical Stalwarts' in tandem departure - 7.3.2020.

            Mid afternoon on 7th March 2020 sees these two 'Home Fleet Historical Stalwarts' storm up the steep climb from Keighley during the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway's (KWVR) 2020 Spring Gala. Just thinking how lucky we were to see this!

In 1968 when the line was re-opened, because of the continued existence of steam locomotives on the national network, KWVR was not permitted to run steam locomotives in their British Railways livery. In response LMSR Ivatt 2MT 2-6-2T (one of its first two engines - seen piloting here) was painted in LMS Crimson Lake with the KWVR Garter Device on its side tanks - still proudly retaining this.

Behind is LMSR Fowler 4F 0-6-0 43924 in its 'Centenary Year'. 
This locomotive is also 'Unique and Historical' for several reasons - apart from being built at the Midland Railway's Derby Works in 1920 - it was the first locomotive to be saved from Woodhams Scrapyard in South Wales. Absolutely brilliant!
