Sir Hectimere
"The Torbay Express" 1959 - 4037
From an enprint taken on an old Conway 120 box camera an interesting shot at Paddington in May 1959. Interesting because the 'Castle' class engine on this working was always an example based at 85A Newton Abbot shed. In this instance she is one of the rebuilds from a former 'Star' class engine, given away by the earlier form of cowling over the inside motion valve chambers.
N.B. Further research has identified the date and the engine - 4037 "The South Wales Borderers." 16 May 1959.
Camera: Conway 120 box.
Film: Kodak.
