37116 King's Lynn 1L22 11th August 1981

The afternoon of Tuesday 11th August 1981 found me in King's Lynn on my Anglian Rover admiring a spick & span 37116 basking in the sun with the 1L22 1436 from LIverpool Street on which I'd just scored the track from Ely. A very lucrative day for me, having not only scored 37089 seen in the previous frame, but also 37049 & later when I returned to Cambridge vacuum-only 37017 would go in the book. Stratford & to a slightly lesser extent March always seemed to take a pride in their loco's appearances, 37116 being a fine example & many years later became the last of it's class to retain the stylish buffer skirting.
