WD Austerity 8f 90038 at Colwick.
This Pic is part of a collection from the 1960's. They are all prints of various sizes have been lent to me so that I can scan them, and clean them up a little. The current owner has no desire to exhibit them but has given permission for me to do so.
Apologies for the 'I've just poo'd my pants' face, but it aint every day you meet the world's most wanted man . . I mean who the fuck would've thought he'd rock up at a pre-carnival samba-set warm-up in Sao Paolo.. I still can't work out if he thought it was funny when I frisked him before having a photo.

On 30 May 1965 WD 90076 is stabled with a Jubilee on Wakefield Shed (56A). The loco was allocated to the shed from March 1959, moving to nearby Normanton (55E) in July 1967 and finally to West Hartlepool (51C) in August 1967, only to be withdrawn a month later when steam finished in the area. Its final move was to the scrapyard of Arnott Young Dinsdale.
