Fitted with German Style Smoke Deflectors. A Heaton Sheds Class A3 4-6-2 No. 60051 Blink Bonny emerges light engine from the gloomy depths of Newcastle Central Station on 1st August 1964. It was built as an A1 Pacific in 1924 and rebuilt as an A3 in 1945. This handsome loco had only just over 3 months left before being despatched to the scrap yard.
