I assume the cab was heated, but spare a thought for the shunter hanging on the outside, holding a freezing handrail!

With a job like that, there were enough things to trip over as it was, without the extra hazard of snow and ice underfoot...

An interesting period shot.
I don't think these locos liked the cold weather, because as far as I know, none of them ventured north of the border.

I think one was to be found at Berwick-on-Tweed, but anything north of there was normally Class 05 and 06.
