141 199 & 141 182 at Pham Xá, Vietnam. 2001.
Vietnamese 'Mikado' 2-8-2 no. 141 199 is seen catching the evening sunlight coupled to the rear of train S182 the 14.11 Hái Phòng Cang to Hànôi Ga in the loop at Pham Xá. This was an LCGB charter and is waiting to cross another train on this single track mainline while returning to Hànôi hauled by 141 182. At the time there were still four active diagrams for the class based in and around Hànôi which saw a number of locomotives kept serviceable hence the LCGB being able to arrange a week long itinerary covering lines in the north of the country using several different members of the class.
