Thompson’s LNER Class L1 tanks
There were 100 of these 2-6-4 tank locos, which were introduced in 1945, though most were constructed by BR between 1948 and 1950. 64 were still operating at the start of 1962, but they had all gone by the end of the year and none were preserved. This was another barren zone in my own abc combine volume records, but John Dyer photographed the sole example in his collection, No. 67766, from a passing train. It was still in steam outside Ardsley sheds and with a brake van in tow on 30/4/62.
