LMS Stanier Class 8F No. 8151, British Railways No. 48151, is a preserved British steam locomotive. ==Overview== 8151 was built in 1942 by the LMS at their Crewe Works – works no. 154. She was renumbered as 48151 by British railways after the 1948 nationalisation of Britain's railways. After completion at Crewe works she was allocated to Grangemouth shed until 1949 when she was transferred to Canklow (19C) Shed. The shed's she was based at during her career also included Stavely (today the Barrow Hill roundhouse), Edge Hill in Liverpool and finally Northwich until she was withdrawn in January 1968. After being withdrawn she like many other locos back then was to be sent away for scrapping at a nearby scrapyard. Luckily she was sent down to the famous Barry scrapyard in South Wales where she remained for over 8 years. She was bought for preservation in 1975 and was the 77th loco to leave Barry Scrapyard. She was based at the Embsay and Bolton Abbey Railway for a number of years. She was never operated on the line as her restoration ground to a halt. Happily she was bought by David Smith and after her heavy restoration was completed in 1988 she was certified for mainline use and is today operated by West Coast Railway's working steam charters across the UK visiting places never visited before by an 8F. She also at one point carried the nameplates "Gauge O Guild", Before the 2012 season the nameplates were removed from 48151, the reason being due to David Smith wanting to have her look more original for the season. It was later announced that the nameplates would not be applied again as none of the class carried nameplates under BR ownership and it was preferred to keep the engine looking more original. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「LMS Stanier Class 8F 8151」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
