1934 Dennis Big 6 VY 5445 picture was taken on its visit back to York City after a months stay in the National Railway Museum parked next to the Mallard
A truly great shot of a classic engine. We have a 1939 Dennis Big 6 pumper and a set of 1939 Dennis Big 6 TT Ladders in our collection, while the pumper is fully restored we are in need of a head and parts for the ladders.
