Great shot, as if right from the Dickens times👍
David Birchall replied:
Thank you Yvonne. Not quite Dickensian though as that particular class of locomotives was built between 1935-1938. The railway purists would jump on me if I didn't point that out LOL !

Terrific photo, love the way the engine is emerging through the steam, congratulations on your features

A superb composition! Well do I remember those days of my childhood, when steam was the driving force with only a few electric trains. Also, one of my great aunts lived in Bury during the closing years of her life, though I never went there in person.
David Birchall replied:
Thank you Kathryn. What a coincidence that your great aunt lived in Bury. Not a particular scenic town, one of the many north of England industrial mill towns that sprang up during the industrial revolution. However some great scenery around and about, and this heritage steam railway goes passes through a lot of it. A regular outing for myself and my little grandson.
