Lms Black Five 5000 Pillows

Description: Celebrate LMS Black Five 5000 in a richly colored vintage railway illustration. The LMS Black Five was a Stanier mixed-traffic design, suited to both passenger and freight duties. Historical details: 4-6-0; built 1935; Crewe. The artwork combines Scottish-style loch and rolling heather hills with varied pines, no exact route claim with period-inspired lettering, subtle weathered ink and a country flag. A characterful design for railfans, steam locomotive collectors and admirers of historic railways.

Description: A black and white image of 5428 LMS Class 5 or "Black Five" as the class is lovingly called. 5428 is a steam locomotive built in 1937 for the London, Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS). In 1967 it was withdrawn from British Rail service, preserved and named Eric Treacy after the former Bishop of Wakefield, an eminent railway photographer. The Black Fives were a mixed traffic locomotive, a "do-anything go-anywhere" type, designed by William Stanier and several members of the class survived to the last day of steam on British Railways in 1968, with eighteen of the type making it into preservation. 5428 is photographed here on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway near Goathland.
