You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

[[London, Midland and Scottish Railway]] (LMS) [[LMS Stanier Class 5 4-6-0|Stanier Class 5 4-6-0]] No. '''5305''' (British Railways no. '''45305''') is a preserved British steam locomotive. In preservation, it has carried the name '''''Alderman A.E. Draper''''', though it never carried this in service. It was named after Albert Draper, the man who rescued the locomotive in his own scrapyard.<ref>((cite web |last1=White |first1=Cameron |title=WATCH: On the footplate of steam locomotive 45305 |url=https://www.railadvent.co.uk/2018/12/watch-on-the-footplate-of-steam-locomotive-45305.html |website=Rail Advent |accessdate=3 December 2018))</ref><ref>((cite web |last1=Brown |first1=Phil |title=Steam Locomotive 45305 Stanier Black Five Class 5MT 4-6-0 |url=http://www.docbrown.info/docspics/ArchiveSteam/loco45305.htm |website=Doc Brown's Travel Pictures |accessdate=2 November 2020))</ref><ref>((cite web |title=45305 (LMS 5305 & BR 45305) |url=https://preservedbritishsteamlocomotives.com/45305-lms-5305-br-45305/ |website=Preserved British Steam Locomotives |publisher=WordPress.com |accessdate=2 November 2020))</ref><ref>((cite web |title=45305 |url=https://www.gcrailway.co.uk/the-railway/locomotives/45305-2/ |website=Great Central Railway |accessdate=2 November 2020))</ref>

== Service ==
5305 was built by [[Armstrong-Whitworth]] of [[Newcastle-on-Tyne]] in January 1936, works No 1360. It spent most of its career based in North-West [[England]]. After nationalisation in 1948, [[British Railways]] renumbered it as 45305.

45305 survived to the last month of steam on [[British Railways]]. It was even a candidate for the well known ''[[Fifteen Guinea Special]]'' which ran on 11 August 1968, but on the night before the trip it was failed with a collapsed firebox brick arch and had to be replaced by engine [[LMS Stanier Class 5 4-6-0 5110|45110]]. 45305 was withdrawn from service at Lostock Hall shed as a result of the firebox brick arch failure.

== Preservation ==
45305 was sold to scrap merchants Albert Drapers and Sons Ltd. of [[Kingston upon Hull|Hull]]. No. 5305 became the last locomotive on the scrap line of Drapers of Hull, who broke up 742 former BR locomotives. No. 5305 was to have been the 743rd and last, but the scrapyard's owner, Albert Draper, decided to save one of the yard's locomotives for posterity, and have it restored to full running order. He eventually chose 45305, simply because it was the cleanest engine in the yard.

Albert Draper was, at the time, the president of Hull Kingston Rovers Rugby League Football Club, and it was his fond wish that No.5305 would one day head a special train from Hull to Wembley, where he hoped the club would be playing in the Rugby League Challenge Cup Final.

No. 5305 was put in the care of the Humberside Locomotive Preservation Group and based at Hull Dairycoates MPD, where it was eventually brought up to full main line standard.

5305, restored to original LMS livery was steamed again in 1976. In 1984, 5305 was named ''Alderman A E Draper'' by the [[Mayor]] of [[Hedon]], Bill Tong. A.E. Draper was twice Mayor of Hedon and the Hedon coat of arms is on the nameplates. However, for reasons of authenticity, the engine does not always carry these nameplates.

Between 1986 and 1992 5305 spent several summer seasons working over the [[West Highland Line]] between [[Fort William, Highland|Fort William]] and [[Mallaig]], continuing the class's particular association with [[Scotland]].

The locomotive left Hull Dairycoates in April, 1992 on the closure of that shed, first moving to the [[Keighley and Worth Valley Railway]], running there until its ten-year boiler certificate expired in December 1994. In 1996, the engine left the KWVR, first moving to RAF Binbrook in Lincolnshire, and then to the [[Great Central Railway (preserved)|preserved Great Central Railway]] at Loughborough in [[Leicestershire]], arriving there on 20 November 1996. Following a full overhaul at Loughborough works, the engine returned to service in August 2003, this time in BR guise as 45305.

After suffering [[buffer beam]] damage in early 2006, 5305 spent 2006 in use at the GCR before being withdrawn for repairs, which were completed in October 2010. 5305 has now returned to service complete with a new 10 year boiler ticket and renewed mainline certificate.((update after|2020|4=Rail transport articles in need of updating))

The locomotive is still owned by the Draper Family of Hull, but is now looked after by the 5305 Locomotive Association, the successor to the Humberside Locomotive Preservation Group, and while the engine does visit other heritage railways when not out on the mainline, including visits back to the KWVR in 2013 and 2014, and visits to the North Norfolk Railway in September 2011 and 2014, the GCR remains its heritage railway base.

== Fame in preservation ==
2013 marked the 45th anniversary since the end of steam on [[British Rail]]ways in 1968, and because Aug 11 was on a Sunday it was decided for a re-run to take place to mark 45 years since the end of steam. 45305 was booked to work the original train in 1968 but was failed the night before the trip due to a collapsed firebox brickarch, so allowing her to work the anniversary run 2013 allowed the ghost of 1968 to finally be put to rest.

There was also a change of routing as the original route through Newton-le-Willows from Liverpool to Manchester was closed for engineering works so the tour was diverted down the line to Piccadilly via Warrington Central which had not seen steam traction since 1968. 45305 worked from Liverpool to Longsight and then worked back from Longsight to Liverpool in the evening. Other locos that worked the tour included [[BR Standard Class 7 70013 Oliver Cromwell]] which worked from Longsight to Carlisle via Bolton, Farington & Settle while [[LMS Stanier Class 5 4-6-0|LMS Black 5 4-6-0]]'s Nos. [[LMS Stanier Class 5 4-6-0 5231|45231]] and [[LMS Stanier Class 5MT 4932|44932]] double headed the train from Carlisle to Longsight via Settle, Darwen & Bolton.

The loco also featured in Season 2 Episode 3 of the Netflix Series 'The Crown', hauling a train that carried Sir Anthony Eden to Sandringham to offer his resignation to the Queen following the Suez crisis.
