Here BR Standard class 5 fitted with Caprotti valve
gear departs Highley Station on the SVR hauling a
Gresley teak set which was superb too
There is a definite sharpness to the exhaust
We were only just beginning to scratch the
surface of serious scientific efficiency in
steam locomotion when the hurried move
to Diesel and Electric locomotion went
ahead at that alarming pace. Engines
which were only ten years old were
scrapped wholesale, wasting millions
Many thanks http://www.svr.co.uk/
