35026 WDBC railtour. Doncaster stn. 20 Nov. 1966

BR 'Merchant Navy' class Pacific 35026 'Lamport & Holt Line' at Doncaster station during the Williams Deacon's Bank Club "outing" on Sunday 20th Nov.1966. We had traveled from Manchester Piccadilly via Chinley and Sheffield Midland, including sightings of the ancient MR tank engines at Canklow shed along the way. This was my second rail tour trip, and another very murky but thankfully dry day. There was time for an arranged tour of Doncaster Works which was all diesel by that date.

flickr member John Law (johnmightycat) has informed me that a renowned railway photographer, the late Geoff Warnes, can be seen in 35026's cab, camera at the ready.
