Overview


5690 was built at Crewe in March 1936 and named in ''Leander'' after HMS ''Leander'', which in turn was named after the Greek hero Leander. After nationalisation in 1948, she was renumbered 45690 by British Railways.
After being withdrawn in 1964, ''Leander'' was rescued from Woodham's Scrapyard in Barry, South Wales and is now preserved at the East Lancashire Railway.
