Production Details:
Introduced to a design by Nigel Gresley for the
Great Northern Railway in 1920, 1744 was built by the North British
Locomotive Company in Glasgow in February 1921. At the Grouping two
years later, it became LNER 4744 and then 9523 under the 1946
renumbering scheme, before finally becoming BR 69523 at nationalisation.
Withdrawn from New England shed, Peterborough in September 1962, it was
purchased by the Gresley Society Trust for preservation the following
year. It has been based variously at the Keighley & Worth Valley
Railway, the Great Central Railway and – most recently – the North
Norfolk Railway, where, following a major overhaul, it is set to return
to steam in time to celebrate ‘Gresley 150’ during 2026.. Technical Specification & Detail:
