Where is lion?

[FlyingScot]

Lion.The engine that is old,yet loveable.But where is he now?I'm counting on you dudes to tell me where he is and if he's operational!I wasn't born then but he was last saw in 1980(got it off a book called trains of the world).That means I haven't heard of him for 29 years!!!

P.S.Could you post on my wolsztyn thread please?Thanks.

Are we talking about the Class 50? Network SouthEast livery?

If so, then it's currently in preservation at the NYMR. I believe it's based at Grosmont and as far as I know it's just been winterised.

scrapped in 63

Or perhaps the Lion of Titfield Thunderbolt fame.

In which case, it's going to be displayed in the new Museum of Liverpool!

Certainly old enough - 1838!

And in the meantime, my steam book says it is at the Manchester Science Museum at the moment, assuming by Daimler's post it won't be there too long!
