On the day of the line's steam gala. This is a controversial locomotive because it started life as a 2-6-2 'large prairie' numbered 5193 but has been rebuilt to resemble a 4300 class - a 2-6-0 and numbered 9351. I was blissfully unaware of all this when I took its picture. The locomotive on the train to the left is No. 7828 Odney Manor running as Norton Manor in honour of a nearby military base.
