Lostock Hall Preston Lancashire 1st August 1968

A reworked & re-cropped version of an earlier post.

Ivatt 4MT 2-6-0 43106 darkens the skies over Lancashire while filling its tender from the archaic looking water column. Her blower is hard on to lift the smoke & get up steam ready to depart the shed for the Severn Valley Railway at Bridgnorth and a new life in preservation.

Stanier 8F Class No 48476 had its day of fame on 4th August double-heading 1L50, the RCTS 'End of Steam' tour with Standard 5 73069.

A golden Oldie my friend. There sure were lots of these Stanier 8F's about in their day. Thank goodness some have survived.
Great capture here.

Keep safe. Herb
