35026 on the 'Elizabethan' at Pilmoor 22 Oct.1966

BR 'Merchant Navy' class Pacific 35026 'Lamport & Holt Line' hurrying the "Elizabethan" rail tour on the East Coast Main Line down fast through Pilmoor, Yorkshire on its way to Newcastle on a very gloomy day. The railtour was organized by the Altrinchamian Railway Excursion Society from London Kings Cross to Newcastle and back, hauled by 35026 and 4472 'Flying Scotsman'.

Pilmoor was a favourite train-spotting site of mine, on the "racing stretch" between York and Northallerton. My good friend Paul, on the right, got some good photos too. R.I.P. Paul
