A very ugly locomotive but beautifully captured.
Best wishes,

An impressive piece of engineering, well captured with a lovely backdrop.

Nicely photographed, you were blessed with good light. As Andrew says the LMS 'Crabs' were not the most handsome of locomotives but they did their work efficiently for more than 30 years on both freight and passenger trains.
