L150 (5521)

A small set of images showing GWR 4575 "Small Prairie" Class 2-6-2T Tank L150 in action on the Bluebell Railway whilst on hire from 5 July 2013. The engine left the railway to take part in the 150th Anniversary of the Hammersmith & City Line in August 2014.

L150 is normally numbered 5521 but In May 2013, at the request of London Underground, the locomotive was painted in red London Transport livery and numbered L.150, to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the Metropolitan line. The engine is privately owned and when not on hire is often based at The Flour Mill Locomotive Repair Workshop.
