Photo Information
This innocuous looking saddle tank engine has the same tractive effort as a 7F. If that means anything to you. It was the most powerful industrial locomotive ever built in Britain. Seen here at the Pontypool and Blaenavon Railway's "Industrial Steam of South Wales" Gala.

It would need a high tractive effort for those gradients in South Wales Andrew. This is a wonderfully atmospheric shot.

Thanks everyone. This was a challenging day with rain and wind and heavy showers, plus lots of people around.
Best wishes,
Andrew
