She was in green at one stage :)

I've never seen this and I wish that I had!

Yes a sight well worth seeing Andy

Hi Nick,

An impressive capture, and probably a rare sight in your area. I must say that I went back to look at my pictures of it from that time. Yes, it sure was blue, and the valances over the driving wheels were also fitted. I guess they have since removed them for ease of maintenance.

Best Wishes
Peter

Hi Peter ~ You appraisal is particularly appreciated ~ thank you ~ She was just gently creeping along nosing out of Alresford station heading towards Alton. It is nice to be able to see the big wheels so clearly, although the streamlining is somewhat compromised as a result ~ All the best ~ Nick

A beautiful engine....I like Jaap's comment :)

Hi Rosa Yes Jaap has made the best comment so far :~)

Great machine, well captured! :-))

More the pity Bill ~ I'm chuffed that you like it :~)) All the best ~ Nick

Thank you dear LGM xxx

Very interesting design with a modern aerodynamic shape. No steam locomotives with such design have been in Bulgaria . My father has driven steam locomotives . Greetings
