LMS Stanier 4-6-0 Jubilee Class - 45684 "Jutland"

28/07/1964 - LMS Stanier Jubilee 45684 "Jutland" passes under Harwood Rd Bridge at Rishton - note that the nameplate has already been removed and "Ringo" written - sign of the times with the Beatles being the top band of the time.
Borrowed from Derby sheds, It had worked a Bloxwich to Blackpool and then failed. Once repaired it was borrowed to work to Colne after which Rose Grove use it on this special from Colne to Lakeside on the 26th and here from Colne to Morecambe on the 28th.
The engine was withdrawn from service 2 months later and scrapped.
