Why Visit No. 60007 Sir Nigel Gresley?
No. 60007 Sir Nigel Gresley is a renowned member of the LNER A4 Pacific class, designed by the celebrated railway engineer Sir Nigel Gresley. Built in 1937 at the London and North Eastern Railway’s (LNER) Doncaster Works, the locomotive was one of 35 streamlined A4s designed for high-speed express services. Originally entering service on the East Coast Main Line, No. 60007 quickly gained recognition for its sleek, aerodynamic design, which was both visually striking and highly functional, reducing air resistance and enabling exceptional performance.
The locomotive held a special place in British railway history, when it became famous in 1959 for setting the post-war steam speed record of 112 mph during a test run. After its retirement from British Rail in 1966, No. 60007 was saved by the A4 Locomotive Society and later became the flagship of the Sir Nigel Gresley Locomotive Trust. Restored to full working order, it continues to captivate, showcasing the elegance and engineering excellence of Britain’s golden age of steam.
This special visit offers a rare opportunity to see No. 60007 Sir Nigel Gresley in action, steaming along one of the UK’s most scenic heritage lines.
