Information/data
 
Hi all,

I am new to this forum, i am trying to find out any information on the steam locomotive called the ROBIN HOOD 70038.

My brother-in-laws grandfather drove this train from the late 50's.
to the late 60's.

Can anyone help.

Thanks

Ron

Hi Ron, welcome to the forum.

Click on this link and read about the Britannia class (as they were known).

Two of the class are still running around having been preserved.

Welcome to the forum Ron.
Glad to see you have been given the info you were looking for. I love the Britannia class and yes there are two preserved examples of the class 7, both working.
Hope you enjoy
All the best
