Joint 2nd Place - Steaming Around the Bend by John Porter
Built by Beyer Peacock in Manchester, the former Lancashire and Yorkshire railway class 23 number 752 was one of 230 such locomotives which were a common sight in Rochdale, Castleton and Heywood until the mid-1950s.
Number 752 survived because it was sold to a colliery in the 1930s and was eventually donated by the National Coal Board for preservation in 1968. It ran for some time on the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway in the early 1980s but now is based on the East Lancashire Railway and has recently been rebuilt, and renumbered 51456.
