A reworked & re-cropped version of an earlier post.
Ivatt 4MT 2-6-0 43106 darkens the skies over Lancashire while filling its tender from the archaic looking water column. Her blower is hard on to lift the smoke & get up steam ready to depart the shed for the Severn Valley Railway at Bridgnorth and a new life in preservation.
Stanier 8F Class No 48476 had its day of fame on 4th August double-heading 1L50, the RCTS 'End of Steam' tour with Standard 5 73069.

Lostock Hall engine shed near Preston three days before the end of British Railways steam in August 1968.
This is the view from Watkin Lane over the allotment fence. On the steam locomotive dump the engines on view are mainly Stanier Black 5s but the nearest is an Ivatt 4 2-6-0.
The coaling plant dominates the centre with the water tank to its right & the engine shed itself to the right of that.
HFF & have a great weekend.
