  Stanier Class 5 4-6-0 No. 45110 was built for the LMS by the Vulcan Foundry in 1935.

I think for this 2007 SVR steam Gala 45110 had been made to look worn out and not clean, just for this event. There are lots of us who can remember when all steam locomotives, were even more dirty than this, with steam coming out of every were, but were it was surpposed to be coming from.

How many of  the people who just turned up on the day, said, "it a pity they can not keep these steam locomotives clean!"
