SO8074 : Hardly the East Coast Mainline!

taken 2 years ago, near to Ribbesford, Worcestershire, England

Hardly the East Coast Mainline!
Hardly the East Coast Mainline!
A4 class Pacific 4-6-2 Sir Nigel Gresley heading for Kidderminster tender first. Many cameras were not raised for this spectacle and as a fellow spectator commented it's not a recreation of the East Coast Mainline. Indeed, it's hard to imagine an A4 running backward from Kings Cross to Edinburgh. The locomotive is in temporary wartime black livery.
