I have added a new collection featuring The Robinson Class B4 (GCR Class 8F) 4-6-0s 'Immingham' Class
Ten B4s were built in 1906 by Beyer Peacock & Co. Designed for hauling fast goods and fish trains, they were quickly put to work pulling fish trains between London, Manchester, and Grimsby.
The only B4 to carry a name was No. 6097 (GCR No. 1097) which was named Immingham for use hauling management and guests to the construction ceremony of a new dock at Immingham. This was the first GCR 4-6-0 to be given a name.
