The Mayflower 61306 B1 steam locomotive painted in the early British Railways apple green livery, with passengers at Basingstoke train station, UK
Built for the London & North Eastern Railway, 61306 is one of two surviving B1 Class locomotives. The B1's were designed as mixed traffic locomotives capable of hauling express passenger trains as well as freight traffic. As powerful, go anywhere engines, the B1's worked across most of the UK rail network from East Anglia to Scotland. Mayflower has two cylinders, 6 driving wheels, a firebox grate area of 30 square feet and can operate at 75mph. The steam locomotive is run by Steam Dreams Rail Co
