This week's locomotive of the week is GNR No.990 "Henry Oakley". 990 was built in 1898 at Doncaster works and became the first 4-4-2 Atlantic type locomotive in the United Kingdom and carried the name of the railway's general manager. It was fitted with modified frames in 1919 and a superheater and piston valves in 1923. The engine was withdrawn in 1937 and placed in the LNER's railway museum at York. It was returned to service for short bursts in 1953, 1975 and 1977, though now resides at the National Railway Museum as object number 1975-7001.
