Description LMS Black Five 5MT 4.6.0 number 44871 waits at bury signal box to reverse onto BR Britannia Class 7P 4.6.2 number 70013 "Oliver Cromwell" to become the lead engine on 1T57.

Quite a big event, as you can see by the waiting crowds.

I'm always pleased when there are folks who care enough about the past to preserve and defend it against the relentless "modernizing", the homogenization and sanitizing of historic truth.
I like the drama in this shot. That is a pretty good turn-out for the event. You couldn't get more people on the platforms without dropping a few over the sides.

Sherman, set the Wayback Machine for 1935. I think we forgot to learn about some very important British Steam locomotives.
