ADVANTAGE MISUNDERSTOOD...
Or a 'Health & Safety' nightmare....
LMS 4-6-2 8P 46229 'Duchess of Hamilton' comes up towards the top of Gresford Bank near Wrexham and passes the site of Gresford Colliery exchange sidings on the beautiful evening of 23-10-82.
Hauling a Welsh Marches Pullman. The Six Bells website has the steam leg northbound from Shrewsbury but I photographed Black5 5000 at Craven Arms so it must have started at Hereford and I presume the Duchess hauled leg returned to Hereford.
This is an improved version of a previous post. I made the comment originally about the need for people to climb signals to take photos. I would love to see the 'against the light' results.
One of my favourite steam locos on the mainline it is now incarcerated in the National Railway Museum at York as a static loco which has been cosmetically restored with streamlined casing. A sad end to an active life.
