Black Five Ref: STR003 30cm (12") long The Black Five, the most common engines in the North West of England. This Loco was built by Armstrong Whitworth in 1937 and spent most of its life in and around Manchester. In 1937 it cost the LMS the grand total of £6,244 to build this Black Five engine, but in 1963 it was withdrawn from service and went to the Barry Island scrap yard. The loco was bought in 1983 at a cost of £7,500 and transported to the East Lancs Railway at Bury. The loco is now fully restored after having £150,000 raised for substantial boiler repairs before returning to steam on the East Lancs Railway. Price: £68
