To address this, in 1956\/57, LT received two former Great Western Railway (GWR) 0-6-0 Pannier Tank engines from the Western Region of British Railways. Successful trials led to the acquisition of a further eleven Pannier Tanks by London Transport between 1958 and 1963, numbered from L89 to L99.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ewa-rteLine\"\u003eUse of steam on works trains began to wind down in the 1960s. The steam era ended symbolically on 6 June 1971, with a commemorative run on the Metropolitan line by an engineering train hauled by L94 from Moorgate to Neasden Depot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ewa-rteLine\"\u003eThis exclusive London Transport Museum model depicts London Transport L98, originally GWR 7739, built by the North British Locomotive Company in Glasgow in 1930. It joined the LT engineering fleet in late 1962 and was broken up at LT Neasden works in 1970.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ewa-rteLine\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ewa-rteLine\"\u003eBachmann Branchline 1:76\/OO Scale\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ewa-rteLine\"\u003eLondon Transport Service Stock maroon livery\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ewa-rteLine\"\u003eRunning No. L98\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ewa-rteLine\"\u003eWater fillet caps with screw closure\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ewa-rteLine\"\u003eNEM coupling pockets\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ewa-rteLine\"\u003eSprung buffers\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ewa-rteLine\"\u003ePowerful 3-pole motor\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ewa-rteLine\"\u003eEquipped with 8-pin DCC decoder socket – recommended Bachmann decoder ref. 36-566A\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ewa-rteLine\"\u003eLength 130mm (over couplings)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"ui-provider a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z ab ac ae af ag ah ai aj ak\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAvailable in Covent Garden and online with delivery to the UK.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePlease note, we are currently unable to ship this item outside the UK.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"London Transport Museum","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56443379843420,"sku":"483667","price":135.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0937\/8090\/2236\/files\/pannier_tank_side_angle_1_1200_483667_1.jpg?v=1771530254","url":"https:\/\/shop.ltmuseum.co.uk\/products\/london-transport-l98-pannier-tank","provider":"London Transport Museum","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
