LNWR Precedent class blank birthday or Father's Day Card by railway artist Philip D. Hawkins FGRA
Designed by Francis Webb, the LNWR ‘Precedent’class 2-4-0 became legendary during the great races of 1895 with 790 Hardwicke averaging 67mph on the 141 mile journey from Crewe to Carlisle. Small by later standards, the Precedents were equipped with large driving wheels and were very free-running. The exploits of Hardwicke and her classmates ensured that in just six weeks over 1hr 15 min had been taken off the journey time between London and Carlisle.
This ‘Precedent’, 1682 ‘Novelty’ is seen at Birmingham New Street. The last ‘Precedent’ was retired in 1934 with no.790 rightly preserved.
