FMCbwslides026 Class40 and Royal Scot
I think this photo is taken at the same time and spot as the last one I uploaded of the Royal Scot, but with a train heading in the other direction. The weather conditions are the same and I acquired them together.
This time we have a Class 40 piloting what I think is a Royal Scot (not my strong point so please correct me if necessary) on load at least 12. The class 40 was given as D230, the number this time is unreadable so if that is the case the photo has to be pre April 1961 when it acquired the name Scythia.
D230 was new to Carlisle Upperby in September 1959 and a Midland loco all its life was withdrawn in April 1983.
