With its rods down, unique British Railways Standard 8P Caprotti Pacific "Duke of Gloucester" makes a smother as it roars past Longueville Junction, Peterborough, with a Russ Hillier charter on 29th September 2011.
What a glorious sight this was when compared to the sad hulk rotting away in Barry Scrapyard back in March 1968 and what a triumph for the endeavours of preservationists (see adjacent picture).
