Visitors were free to wander the site and get close to the locomotives at this steaming day at Birmingham Railway Museum, now Tyseley Locomotive Works. The engine is LMS Black 5 5428 "Eric Treacy". It was named after Rt Rev Eric Treacy, Bishop of Wakefield from 1968-76, who was a very distinguished railway photographer. It only carried this name after preservation.
