At the NRM's 1968 and all that exhibition on 24th May 2008 is 7P Britannia 4-6-2 70013 Oliver Cromwell.
Built at Crewe in 1951 70013 was preserved in 1968 after she had hauled officially the last British Rail excursion train on the 11th August.
She is owned by the NRM but, at present, she is based at The Great Central Railway where she has been restored to good health soon to be seen on the mainline.
