8718
One of the nicest examples we've had, it's exceptionally well built, nicely painted and runs beautifully, notching up close to midgear in either direction - there's some video of it on the rolling road here.
Boiler has had recent hydraulic and steam tests with new certification issued.
More usually seen in LNER livery, this one looks very well in lined LMS black.
