Doom and Gloom.
A view from the tender of LMS Stanier Class 7P 4-6-2 No 46206 Princess Marie Louise at Crewe South shed, she had been withdrawn from Camden on the 3rd November and was on her way to Crewe Works where she was scrapped later that month, in the line on the left are 42593 47269 which had both already been withdawn and were scrapped in December, 45393 80132 and 45236 lasted until 1966 and 1967.
The snow had come slightly earlier in the 1962/63 winter than this year but it was the beginning of a very cold period although one that didn't stop our train spotting trips as we managed to travel by rail far and wide with little disruption. If our November snow this year is the start of a 2021/22 similar winter then I doubt that will be possible as most TOC's will probably throw in the towel.
