Through the original horse drawn tunnel and the
running shed is always a good photo opportunity
Here 45407 'The Lancashire Fusilier' has running
repairs done to the piston valves
Further along the shed two class 9Fs await their
turns of duty
That logo caused some controversy. The original
design was the one on the left side of the tender
which of course has the lion facing forwards.
On submission and acceptance by the Heralds
people BR simply thought they could paint a
forwards facing lion on the right hand side,
however as this was seen to be a substantial
difference as the lion would be facing the word
'Railways' now rather than the word 'British' as
in the one submitted, the Heralds said only the
one agreed was acceptable. So of course on the
right hand side of the tender the lion faces back
seeing where its been and on the left hand side
looks forwards seeing where it is going.
Always a little story
However Lancashire Fusilier looks splendid
