Eastlegh Beer Festival 2002 Logo

This year's glass logo represents 453 (BR 30453) King Arthur of the eponymous N15 class. This engine was built in 1925 to a Maunsell design that was an upgrade to Urie's 1918 design. 74 'Arthurs' were built and named including the earlier engines which were named retrospectively. A number, from 763 onwards, were built in Scotland at the famous North British works. Only one survived, 777 Sir Lamiel in the care of the York Railway Museum.
