KWVR Keighley West Yorkshire 26th September 1976

            Three more from the LNER Society rail tour from London St Pancras to Keighley for a visit to the KWVR.

A double-headed combination not seen at the KWVR these days departs from Keighley station. 

"FRED" is Stephenson & Hawthorn 7289, built 1945 as WD 71480, and later worked at the NCB West Lancashire Area Bickershaw Colliery and Walkden Loco shed. It was rebuilt with a mechanical stoker and Hunslet Gas Producer System, hence the "flowertub" chimney. It is now at Tyseley.

1931 is a WD 2-8-0 Austerity that was shipped to the Continent during the war ended up in Sweden and was repatriated in 1973. Shortly after this photograph was taken it was withdrawn. After 30 years it has been rebuilt & reborn as 90733.
