The Duchess at Colton Junction
Having started the morning at Barrow Upon Soar looking for a suitable location we decided to move north owing to very poor light. Arriving at Colton junction it was glorious but cloud later developed. The concern was the wind direction and would the exhaust lift enough to get the light that we still had. Working hard and with the smoke deflectors doing their job 46233 looked fabulous past the small gallery at Colton Junction running fifty minutes late.
