Loco 41241 on the KWVR

[Ryewolf]

41241 is a London, Midland & Scottish designed Ivatt Class 2MT 2-6-2T was built at Crewe in 1949. It was withdrawn from service at Skipton in 1966 shortly before the depot closed in 1967. It was bought by the KWVR and arrived under its own power in 1967.

It is in a none standard crimson livery as at the time it arrived at the KWVR ex BR trains were not allowed to use BR liveries, so this was the colour it was painted for the opening of the KWVR in 1968, later it was painted in authentic BR lined livery. In 2018, for the 50th Anniversary, it was repainted in its crimson livery.

Heading back to the engine shed at Haworth at the end of the day.
