Built in December 1946 as part of the SR West Country steam locomotive class, this engine was withdrawn as late as July 1967, but this engine by today has a lot of fun holding rail-tours all around the United Kingdom and here she is pulling the Welsh Marches Express on 4th May 2019. She was at full speed when I took this photograph, going over 60mph; no diesel engine at the rear too! This photo was taken from the former Leominster to Kington railway line.
