On the first day of the 2025 Winter Gala I had a morning turn on visiting engine GWR 2884 Class 2-8-0 3850. I was checking the water level in the tender when this view presented itself.

The original GWR 2-8-0s introduced in 1908 had a typically Edwardian small cab roof but even this 1940s update is hardly less Spartan especially when running backwards in the rain!

Fences are maybe not the main interest here but HFF to everyone. Enjoy the weekend ahead.

Thanks Graham. The awning was in the storage box on the right. I tend to find that they hardly stop the rain & wind coming in but badly affect your ability to see where you're going! Yes they are water tank vents.

Hi Pete
I like this nice picture, very much!
The colours and composition are really interesting
I know the GWR 2-8-0 quite well from SVR.
Best Wishes, (slightly late) HFF, a nice weekend, and stay safe!!

Coal locomotives are not very friendly to their drivers! HFF, Pete!
