Burtonian 150
50022 and 50036 at Old Oak Common
50036 stands outside the shed as 50022 and 47622 occupy the inside.
I’d long wanted to take photos at Old Oak Common depot as I’d seen so many published ones of loco’s around the iconic turntable. So a family trip to London seemed a good opportunity and much to my delight after asking permission from staff, I was free to roam with my camera. In tow was my mother who didn’t seem to mind the detour and oily surroundings, as she’d spent her working life at Derby loco works. I never envisaged 15 years later I’d spend a Sunday afternoon stuck there legitimately in the mess-room, after an on track machine I was on derailed and limped its way there for assessment.
