61306 Mayflower, LNER B1 Class

A preserved LNER B1 Class 4-6-0 mixed-traffic locomotive, built by the North British Locomotive Company in 1948. Main-line certified and privately owned by David Buck. One of two preserved B1 class locomotives.

61306 Mayflower operates regularly on main-line charter excursions and heritage railway visits, carried in LNER apple green passenger livery — a striking and historically-considered choice for a class that spent most of its working life in BR mixed-traffic black. One of the most active preserved LNER-design locomotives on the national network.

Last recorded as actively touring, owned by David Buck. Operating status: Main-line certified. Current livery: LNER apple green.

Location, livery and operating status last confirmed pre-2024 and subject to change. Check with the owning organisation or heritage railway for current information.
