Such Wonders Did I See - 790
To see classic engines brought back to life was the dream of a young schoolboy train spotter of the 1950s, and lo here was I at Rainhill in 1980 witnessing such glorious resurrections as to take my breath away.
Here we see L&NWR "Jumbo" class 2-4-0 No. 790 Hardwicke in steam and working agin under her own power. WOW!
Camera: Olympus Pen F Half Frame SLR.
