Leyland

A special visitor to Leyland Festival in 1976 was L&YR Pug 51218, from the Worth Valley, in light steam on this lowloader. The Leyland tractor unit looks like a preserved lorry but was of course a brand new demonstrator vehicle from the nearby Leyland Trucks plant. Sister loco 11243 is presently (2009) a static exhibit at the nearby Ribble Steam Railway museum in Preston, See image 23456 and 51218 is based at the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway.
