Super Power!

Bulleid Battle of Britain pacific 34072 257 Squadron & British Railways Standard 5 4-6-0 73156 double-heading the 13.45 ex-Loughborough non-stop express to Leicester North.

Me and Andy were the crew on 73156 with this same working on Friday. We both agreed that it would make a great photo from across the field so the next day that's just where I went...

It's not obvious but if you look very carefully there is a fence just about visible!

HFF to everyone. Have a great weekend.

A fantastic double loco shot here but you have to be a bit desperate to find the fence :) There must be some steep bits on that run to need a double-header. Well done.

HFF, enjoy the weekend. Herb

A real visual feast, this, Pete. I love the stratigraphy of the shot, and the sense of colour and movement. Have a great weekend…D
