You see here just one of the ten driving wheels of this impressive locomotive resting in the York Railway Museum.

The Evening Star was the last steam locomotive ever built for British Railways. Its green paintwork and copper capped chimney mark it out as a special commemorative vehicle, all other goods engines built in this design were painted black. It was also the only one given a name rather than just a number. Designed to move heavy loads at fast speeds, these engines are some of the largest and most powerful locomotives ever built in Britain. See PiP
