Tender locomotive A4 Class 4-6-2 60025 'Falcon', epoch IV
The LNER Gresley A4 is one of the most iconic express locomotives in Great Britain, with its streamlined casing a classic symbol of the attitude towards speed and design in the 1930s, which saw increased competition to the railways from road and air travel. The LNER Board knew that they had to make travel between the major cities faster, comfortable and more reliable.
4484 Falcon entered service with LNER in January of 1937, following the broad early naming format based around Gresley’s penchant for birds. The locomotive would go on to serve under BR as 60025 before being scrapped in October of 1963.
