Tomorrow afternoon at 2.45pm marks an unforgettable ceremony that will forever etch this locomotive's identity as "The Derbyshire Yeomanry". Built with meticulous craftsmanship in 1932 at Crewe, this magnificent steam engine initially bore the number 6005 before being renumbered as 45509 in September 1949.
