BR Standard Class 5 73156

Steam and Early Locomotives

British Railways Standard Class 5 No. 73156 is a preserved British steam locomotive and the sole surviving BR Standard locomotive built at Doncaster Works. Its allocation history began at Neasden in December 1956 and went on through Sheffield Millhouses, Sheffield Grimesthorpe and Derby, and it was withdrawn from Bolton on 24 October 1967. It was sold to Woodham Brothers scrapyard in South Wales, where it escaped the cutter's torch, and the Bolton Steam Locomotive Co Ltd bought it in November 1985, moving it from Barry to the East Lancashire Railway at Bury. Its restoration at Loughborough on the Great Central Railway was completed in 2017 with a new BR1B tender, and it made its formal debut on 5 October 2017 in the guise of 73084 Tintagel.
