Specific Locomotive History

For a short period after overhaul in 2014, Big Jim briefly appeared on the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway carrying a pseudo-BR livery. The engine carried the number 95820 with an 8F power classification on the cabside, early BR emblem and overhead warning flashes.

The engine was subsequently repainted into a more authentic light grey livery with No.5820 – a livery which it has carried since.
