Steam engine moved from London to National Railway Museum in York

An 18-tonne steam locomotive has made a 213-mile journey by road from London to its new home in York.

The Columbine, which was built in 1845, has been transported from the Science Museum in South Kensington to the National Railway Museum (NRM), where it is now on display.

The engine was initially moved from the NRM to be part of a new exhibition at the London site in 2000, where it had stayed for more than a quarter of a century.

Now the locomotive and its tender, a special rail car coupled to the engine which carries fuel and water, are on show together for the first time in 26 years.
