R A Riddles standard class 4 75078

BR 4-6-0 standard loco 75078 built at Swindon 1956.

Fitted with double chimney. 

It was a very wet Saturday earlier this year when 

75078 was still running in

The rain was windblown but still in stair rods, slanting

stair rods.

But it gave the engine a super gleam

Blinking wet though.
