Here's a story about this Steam Locomotive.
This Steam Loco is a Jubilee Class 4-6-0 No. 45643 Rodney.
At Leeds Holbeck MPD in 1963. We see this relatively clean Stanier Jubilee Rodney. It was built in December 1934 at Crewe Works and withdrawn from this MPD on 31st January 1966 then scrapped at Clayton & Davy in Dunston On Tyne. No. 45643s name comes from George Brydges Rodney who was born in 1718 and died in 1792 who was the first Baron Rodney. He was an admiral in the Royal Navy who made his name in a victory over the French in the Battle of the Saintes from 9th April to 12th April 1782 during the War of Independence.
