Having been named \u2018Eric Treacy\u2019 after the renowned railway photographer, the engine then moved to the North Yorkshire Moors Railway (NYMR) in the 1970s and ran there until the late 1990s before being withdrawn for a complete overhaul.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Having completed a \u00a3600,000 restoration programme, 45428 returned to service on the NYMR in 2010 after an eleven-year absence.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"bggle--block bggle_spacer\">\n<div class=\"bggle_line\">\n      <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"text--1636212952126 margin_vertical--small     margin-bottom_none bggle_title bggle--block text__left\">\n      About Eric Treacy<br \/>\n    <\/h2>\n<div class=\"bggle_text-with-image bggle--v2 bggle--block margin_vertical--medium margin-top_none      \">\n<div class=\"bggle_text--container\">\n<p>Eric Treacy, Bishop of Wakefield, an esteemed railway photographer began taking his photographs in 1932, shortly after joining the clergy. He became part of the Railway Photographic Society in 1935 and would often befriend drivers and firemen in his congregation who would subsequently often help to create smoke effects in his images.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Treacy would plan his photography days in advance, taking into account the weather, position of the sun at the time of the train\u2019s arrival and in-depth knowledge of the locations. Sadly, Treacy died suddenly in 1978 on Appleby Station while photographing the locomotive \u2018Evening Star\u2019, but his legacy lives on through his collection of railway photography which is now housed at the National Railway Museum in York.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"bggle_image--container imageLeft underText imageLeft\">\n<div class=\"bggle_image-source\">Image by Rjstott<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are excited to announce a new addition to the Railway Icons range, exclusive to Rails &amp; Locomotion Models, the iconic LMS &#8216;Black 5&#8217; 4-6-0 [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":31737,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[295],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-31736","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-model-railways"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31736","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=31736"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31736\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/31737"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=31736"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=31736"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=31736"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
