Grosmont running shed

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
