History dude Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Funny how the Sheffield Midland light (lamp) was turned around on that Platform, but on others like the one in the background the lamp part is aligned with the platform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unitedite Returns Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Absolutely fantastic image. The locomotive was built by The North British Locomotive Company, Glasgow, to their works number, 25848, on 30-10-1946, withdrawn from Colwick MPD, [38A], on 19-02-1966, and disposed of 31-05-1966 to Birds, Long Marston, where it was cut-up. One of 410 built between 1942 and 1952. Now, sadly long gone, like the signal box behind and the signal gantries over the running lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
