A4 Class 60018 Sparrow Hawk at Doncaster Works

Summer 1961 or 1962 and the day of an Ian Allan (publishers) excursion from Kings Cross to Doncaster with a guided tour of the works. A4 Class 4-6-2 60018 Sparrow Hawk looks like she is soon to be released to traffic after an overhaul.

Sparrow Hawk was built by the London North Eastern Railway at Doncaster Works in November 1937. She was withdrawn in June 1963 and cut up at her birth place the following month.
