No. 60007 joins Hosking fleet at Crewe

by

Gresley ‘A4’ No. 60007 Sir Nigel Gresley will spend the next 10 years with the Crewe-based Locomotive Services Ltd (LSL) fleet as part of an agreement between the Sir Nigel Gresley Locomotive Trust (SNGLT) and the Royal Scot Locomotive & General Trust (RSL&GT).

The ‘Streak’ will be operated by LSL and become one of the principal locomotives hauling railtours for Saphos Trains, although this is not an exclusive arrangement.
