Tangmere, aka 4067 aka 34067 ...

Bulleid light pacific class, as built with air-smoothed casing [aka "spam cans"] constructed 1943 - 1951. Sixty were rebuilt without the casing during the late 1950s. Tangmere is one of the twenty preserved from a class of 110 locomotives, and lives at Carnforth when not operating main-line charters etc.
Named after RAF Tangmere

I don’t know how to express this correctly… everyday’s things were more artistic, more elegant by then, people took their time to do things and things were made to last. Nowadays almost all is disposable, made not to last, therefore all the consequences we are confronted with.
