Steaming through Staveley
by pgweber
I know a few on here are quite fond of A4s, but I have always been impressed by the Duchesses.
Ex-LMS No 46233 'Duchess of Sutherland' is seen here passing Slitting Mill Crossing near Staveley (North Derbyshire), with a day-trip from Leicester, up the East Coast Main Line to Newcastle.
The air was cool and crisp this morning and the sun would have been right behind me if it had made an appearance. I think the exhaust stood out quite well and she made a tremendous noise - what a spectacle!
