Steams Up - Loco 60009

A Boxing Day visitor on the East Lancs Railway running around at Rawtenstall.

Very nice images, I think the black and white pictures suit the subject better.

These are nice images and as above, black and white suiting the images.

Only thing bothering me is both poles in the bottom right of each image (2 and 3) are not vertical.

I’d fix that if I was you?

cheers,
Dougie.

Thanks Mark and Dougie

A nice set. I prefer the colour version, It just feels more gritty a alive the B/W feel a tad cold.
60009 retires in March when her boiler ticket expires and will be placed in the Farming and railway visitors Centre in Fife.

Thanks Gary. Sad to hear that it's being retired....

Yes, that's a shame. It was great to see this one in steam at Victoria a while back. On the plus side, 60007 is being overhauled for a return to service and the boiler has just been fitted: https://www.sirnigelgresley.org.uk/overhaul-1520/overhaul.shtml
