Engine 80104 from Footpath 51

Noticed a new footpath (#51) had been designated at the end of our village - and it crossed the preserved railway, so photo op sprang to mind. Very cold and very grey, but I like the result. This engine was bought for renovation having been laid-up in Barry scrapyard for eighteen years!

What a great photograph. Used to love the southern region "Schools Class " Locos and stand on the bridges and get covered in smoke and soot. I used to get a beating from my mother, but it was worth it! Thanks for the memories!

Thanks to everyone who has taken the time to look and comment - your interest is much appreciated. I've ordered a print on aluminium for my kitchen gallery!
