Summary
| Description | B.R. Standard Class "7MT" or "Britannia" 4-6-2 No.70000 "Britannia" in B.R. lined green and early (1949) BR emblem on the Victoria-Bath Spa-Bristol Temple Meads "Catherals Express" approaching Bath, 04/12. The "Brits" were the first BR Standard class introduced in 1951 and had a very mixed reception by the enginemen of the former pre-Nationalisation companies who still favoured their beloved GWR "Castles", LNER "A3's", SR Bulleid light pacifics or LMS "Royal Scots" (all in the power class 7 category) although whilst the GWR West Country drivers of Plymouth Laira depot hated them, the GWR drivers of Cardiff Canton depot thought very highly of them! In fact, the Brits' simplicity, ruggedness, ease of maintenance, ability to go long distances between overhauls and ability to work express passenger and fast freight (often on poor coal) were exactly what was needed in the straightened times of the '50's. | |||||||||||||
