The beauty of the LNER Class 0-6-0 No. 4153 is evident from its vintage image, which captures a bygone era in British locomotive design.
Built at the Doncaster Works in 1921, this steam locomotive was one of six built for the Great Western Railway, and it has been lovingly preserved to showcase its unique character.
At 4m 10.25in in length, No. 4153 boasts a striking appearance, with its prominent headlight and distinctive cab design. The locomotive's sleek lines and robust build exude an air of elegance and sophistication.
With only two surviving examples of this class, No. 4153 is now considered one of the rarest and most valuable locomotives in the world. Its intricate mechanisms and beautifully crafted details make it a true masterpiece of steam engineering.
This No. 4153 at Wakefield is a stunning example of Victorian-era locomotive design, and its presence in our collection will transport you back to an era of grandeur and innovation.
