The Green Knight
It shows the march in steam technology
It's culmination in the standard designs of the
Riddles team for British Rail

BR Standard class 4 The Green Knight
Also at Pickering yesterday
The BR Standard 4 The Green Knight.
Bought in tandem with 9F Black Prince
by David Shepherd. He tells us we owe much
the upland elephant the sale of whose picture
financed the purchase of the two locomotives
I think a thank you to David is also inline
as it was his artistic talent which painted
the upland elephant
Gresley A4 Bittern
In charge at the North York's Moors yesterday
A superbly cared for A4
Runs down onto her train at Pickering
Magnificent sight
The LNER A4 always strikes a chord not to mention
a chime from the whistle
