Dashing Duchess
by pgweber
One of the most impressive and powerful steam engines running today is Ex LMS 6233 'Duchess of Sutherland'.
The loco is shown heading 'The Yorkshire Coronation', a day trip from Leicester to Scarborough on 4th April 2009.
The location is Bennerley Viaduct in the Erewash Valley near Ilkeston.
Shot using K10D/Rikenon M 50mm as PEF and converted in Silkypix.

Very nice. You could (if you wanted that is) edit out the graffifi and then it would look like this was shot in its heyday.

Thanks Cliff & zealousdp.
I have already done a bit of concealing (by accident) to give this photo more of a 'steam days' appearance.
Obscured by the great clouds of steam was a diesel locomotive attached at the back of the train to supply electric heating to the coaches.
This happens quite often and spoils the general impression.
