Ex-LNER V2 class locomotive, GREEN ARROW, on shed at Loughborough.
The National Railway Museum's flagship locomotive - pioneer V2 class 2-6-2, No. 60800 GREEN ARROW - stands outside Loughborough shed in the summer of 2002. Locomotives of this type were regular performers on the London Extension during the 1940's and 1950's and were a great favourite amongst the locomotive crews. They were powerful and reliable machines, and their 6' 2' driving wheels allowed for very fast starts, which were preferred on the Great Central. See on Route Map
