First introduced in 1928, the B17 ‘Sandringham’ class was born in the golden age of Art Deco — a time of style, elegance and bold new possibilities.

 

With its refined design, the B17 captured the spirit of an era when railways opened up a new world of travel; linking cities, connecting communities and giving people the freedom to explore.

 

The B17 has a timeless visual elegance inherited directly from the design of Sir Nigel Gresley’s A1 of ‘Flying Scotsman’ fame — its iconic green livery, powerful stance, graceful lines and dramatic presence embody the golden age of steam travel.

 

Today, that spirit will live again. Revival means giving today’s generation the chance not just to see a B17, but to feel what it meant — to stand beside it, hear it, travel behind it and share in the powerful human story it once carried down the line.
