View approximately NW, in the great ex-Great Eastern Locomotive Yard serving the Whitemoor Marshalling Yards at March. This Thompson/Peppercorn K1 2-6-0 (No. 62057) had been built only about 16 months before, but had obviously never been cleaned. Note the electric lighting, with generation by the steam generator fitted alongside the smokebox on the right-hand side. It was one of no less than 92 engines seen at the Depot - on an ordinary weekday.
