Green Arrow


No sooner had we seen the last rites for Green Arrow than, following urgent temporary repairs by the engineers at North Yorkshire Moors Railway, it was announced that FINAL outing for 4771 Green Arrow could now take place on Saturday 26 April 2008, before the locomotive makes the journey to Shildon - excellent news for all those who can make it to see this historic steam loco for the last time.
Here is Green Arrow leaving Quorn & Woodhouse on the Great Central Railway at their "Big 4 Gala" on 21 May 2006
Footnote : It can be confirmed that 4771 Green Arrow did in fact make a successful final outing on 26 April 2008, and big thanks must go to all those involved in preparing her for her final run
