Britannia Pacifics are a type of 4-6-2 locomotive designed by Robert Riddles for use by the nationalised British Railways for mixed freight and passenger duties. Fifty five were built at the Crewe Works between 1951 and 1955. Two survive into preservation, 70000 Britannia herself and 70013 Oliver Cromwell. Oliver Cromwell was in fact the last steam locomotive to run a scheduled BR service in 1968.
