Black 5 on a Last Train re-enactment at the Great Central Railway in 2006.
The black 5 has had its number coved up and the locomotive made to look dirty just for this weekend. It does not quite look right, but you cannot not clean your engines for a year and run them with leaking pipes like they did in BR days, and leave them in a working steam shed to get realy dirty. Some one who never been to steam railway be for though it needed a good clean, and it was a pity they had not got time to clean it!
