BR Standard Class 5 73156

Its restoration at Loughborough on the Great Central Railway was completed in 2017, and it made its formal debut on 5 October 2017 in the guise of 73084 Tintagel.

73156 avoided the cutters torch at Woodham's, and was bought by the Bolton Steam Locomotive Co Ltd, moving from Barry in November 1985.

73156 was initially based at the East Lancashire Railway in Bury, (and indeed much of the associated rolling stock owned by members still lives there).

The restoration inside the shed at Loughborough was completed in 2017, along with a new BR1B Tender to replace the original, which was sold off while the locomotive was at Barry.

This would make it more suitable for mainline work than the other four preserved Standard 5s, but the restoration group has not publicly released any intentions to do this.
