LNER Class A4 60034 Lord Faringdon

Steam and Early Locomotives

LNER Class A4 No. 60034 Lord Faringdon, built as No. 4903 Peregrine, was one of the 35 Gresley A4 Pacific steam locomotives built at Doncaster. It entered service on 1 July 1938, wore the numbers 4903, 34 and 60034 in turn, and received its second name on 24 March 1948. It was one of the few A4s built with a double chimney and Kylchap double blastpipe, and Doncaster Works number 1877 was fitted with it from new. Based at King's Cross and used on the London to Edinburgh line, it was one of three engines, with Mallard and Seagull, used for the 1948 Locomotive Exchange Trials, where it ran the ex-LMS route from Euston to Preston and Carlisle. During a 28-year career it carried twelve boilers and six tenders. It was withdrawn from Aberdeen on 24 August 1966 and scrapped at Hughes Bolckow in early 1967.
