60007 Sir Nigel Gresley LNER Class A4 4-6-2 (Pacific) steam locomotive, under steam at Llandudno Junction, built to a design by Sir Greasley in 1937


As with the other members of the 35-strong class, Sir Nigel Gresley wore many liveries throughout its career. It was released to traffic on 30 October 1937 in LNER Garter Blue. Upon completion of its 2022 overhaul, it entered service in LNER Wartime Black. In this image the locomotive is in its iconic British Railways dark blue on the side (the shadows from the steam makes it appear almost black). The front and top are black. Train numbers were LNER 4498, LNER 7 (from 1946), BR 60007 (from 1948). The train is now operated by the luxury travel company, Steam Dreams
