The First and the Last. Nine years and 997 other BR Standard steam locomotives separate 7MT 4-6-2 70000 Britannia and 9F 2-10-0 92220 Evening Star. The two locos were displayed together at the NRM York shortly after 70000 was renamed by HRH The Prince of Wales at Wakefield Kirkgate, marking the 60th anniversary of when it hauled his grandfather's funeral train from Sandringham.
