Sir Hectimere
Pushing The Limits - 30773
I nearly missed this one!
On Saturday 18th June 1960, a Portsmouth and Isle of White 'Nelson' type electric train had just nipped through Wimbledon on its way to Woking and beyond when N15 King Arthur class 4-6-0 No. 30773 "Sir Lavaine" came storming through on an up summer Saturday extra working from Bournemouth. 30773 was not hanging about and was, I suspect, running a tad over the speed limit of sixty mph for this part of the line.
30773 was withdrawn from service in February 1962 and scrapped in Eastleigh works in April 1962.
Camera: Fed II 35mm.
