An enjoyable hour or so in a little sunshine all be it still a touch cold. Thanks for looking.Mick

Nice pics of an iconic piece of engineering.

Out of interest, how much do they have to slow down along the section of rail in your first pic?

HI EF-111 they are usually opening the throttle as its on a slight incline and just after a curve hence the smoke & steam from the stack. I know what you mean looking at the shots.

That track in the first pic is a tad rough.

Must have turned around at Lincoln? Was backwards when came through Spalding
