Limited Edition BR 4-6-0 Class 5P5F "44781".
This year marks the 40th Anniversary of the end
of steam hauled passenger services on British Railways. A specially prepared
train was rostered on that fateful Sunday morning of the 11th August 1968 which
ran from Liverpool to Carlisle and then back to Liverpool and was known as the
'Fifteen Guinea Special'. Several locomotives were to be used during the journey
with two coupled up to run double headed between Carlisle and Manchester on the
return journey. Two locomotives - 44781 and 44871 - are the subject of two
special limited edition models, each individually packed in a commemorative box
with an accompanying numbered certificate. Each locomotive has been produced as
a limited edition of 1004. This Locomotive is
Number 946 of 1004.
