The loco number might end 20 but it is very fuzzy. I am reasonably confident in the headboard. Once one knows such a named train existed, it firms up one's own interpretation of the shapes!

9.12.2012 Thanks to 1964STU - this now has been identified as A1, 60120 Kittiwake.
Well what do you expect of someone who only spent a couple of years in the north, aged about 5!

20/9/2013 Prompted by Polyrus, I checked Dad's spotting logs, which I now have, and found an entry on 29/7/1950 at York. As there was an example of this uncommon track formation north of York station, this seems a likely location.

Kittiwake, perhaps?

Should have known better! They nest on Seaford Head each year. I never mind corrections. Always grateful that people take the bother. Thanks
