Oliver Cromwell

This loco has special memories for me as a boy spotter in the sixties being the last Britannia class loco I ever saw in normal BR service, She also had the privilege of being the last loco to be given a major overhaul at Crewe works.

Excellent composition with good definition and tonal range - well taken.
This locomotive too has special memories as a young boy with my penny platform ticket and my Ian Allan spotters book. Anorak I hear you all saying, but it was fun.

Not everything in life is Black & White, If only it were!
Kind Regards,
Rees
