History

‘Silver Fox’ followed a similar pattern to its fellow ‘Silver Jubilee A4s’ with its silver/grey livery giving way to Garter Blue in 1937 and then plain black during the war years. Its number changed to 17 under the LNER’s 1946 renumbering system, which was prefixed by BR with ‘600’ following nationalisation in 1948, though the number 60017 wasn’t applied until April 1949. It was painted BR blue the following year, and then BR lined green in December 1952. A Kylchap double-chimney was fitted in May 1957, the condition in which the ‘Pacific’ was withdrawn from New England (Peterborough) shed in October 1963.
