Sir Nigel and a young fan
by davidtrout
Huge crowds turned out at Carlisle to see famous express steam Loco Sir Nigel Gresley on its first mainline run since extensive overhaul. I found a platform end viewpoint and I think the young girl taking her photo added to the composition. Sir Nigel, famous for its blue livery, was carrying a temporary WW11 black LNER paint job.

Lovely, crisp portrait.
I didn't realise how good it looks in wartime black. Pity it's temporary.

Yes, the girl really adds to the over all image.

Lovely shot of a locomotive that I have worked with in the past. Great to see it back out on the network. As others have said including the girl in the shot really makes for added interest.
