svr[22] - Elizabeth II  {1 of 4}
This is No.34027 "Taw Valley" a Southern "West Country" class 4-6-2, built in 1946 at Brighton Works.
Running here as No.70 "Elizabeth II" for HMQ's Platinum Jubilee, repainted in a purple [Lilac] livery in June 2022, which included the Platinum Jubilee crest on the tender.
.
In October 2022, she regained her own name and number, and will be repainted at a future date.

Considering she has just run the full length of the line, she's very clean ... especially as she needed to make up some of the time lost by waiting for another loco [on test] to get into Bridgnorth.

Hi Sara,

A nice memory of the event, and an easy run for such a big locomotive!
Here it is in normal colours! www.ipernity.com/doc/2247998/49375994
