LNER CLASS B17

The London and North Eastern Railway (LNER) 'Class B17', also known as '"Sandringham"' or '"Footballer" class' was a class of 4-6-0 steam locomotive designed for hauling passenger services on the Great Eastern Main Line.
Several were named after football clubs.
There were six subclasses. The B17/5s, 61659 ''East Anglian'' and 61670 ''City of London'' were streamlined in the manner of the LNER Class A4s.
None of the class has survived into preservation but a few of the football clubs were presented with the name plates after the locomotives were scraped.
