60007, York
60007 'Sir Nigel Gresley' is seen with working a train that I'm not sure it's namesake designed it for! Pictured at York on 20th April 1960 working a southbound oil train.
This photo was taken just over a year after 60007 had set the post-war speed record for steam (which it still holds to this day), it'd be lucky to reach half that speed on this working!
