History: Raymund was completed on May 26, 1900 for the Furness railway, he was completed last of 8 engines built, earning him the nickname "last of the class." He was energetic & eager, numbered 126 & later 10142 during moving to the London Middleton & Scottish Railway in 1923. in the 7 years till 1930 he had about 8 accidents and 3 breakdowns. In 1930 he was put of service and was put on a siding in Whitehaven for 10 years. Then he was moved to Barrow-in-Furness for another 13 years. Finally, in February 1953 he was found by an engine known as Tom, his soon to be best friend, & and was brought to the NWR. In March of 1953 he was purchased by Sir Topham Hatt. Raymund was given his blue & yellow stripes with the number 2012, by know he was 53 years old. 15 years later he had a overhaul, lasting 8 years. He was 76 when he broke down for the first time since 1926, as a result, he was taken out of service for 2 years. In 1988, he went to work on the main line, where he works today. in the next 12 years until he turns 100, he has 3 accidents, 4 breakdowns, by now he was more mature. On May 26 2000 he was given another overhaul for this time, 5 years. In 2012 he was pulling a train when he cracked & was left on the line for a few days, before being taken to Crovans-Gate. Now he works on the main line as a goods engine though pulling passengers every now or then.
