Lovely shot.I in the olden days just after knight were bold we had these things thundering past the bottom of the garden .Station only about 200 yd l.o.s from house Watching them either from platform or bridge was amazing.Used to see Union of South Africa a lot but thats been stopped now

Thanks for the memories that picture brought back
