Contre-jour! Stanier Black 5 4-6-0 45305 and British Railways Standard 5 4-6-0 73156 are seen after arrival at Rothley with the 09.10 train to Leicester. 45305 came off here leaving 73156 to continue alone to Leicester. HFF and have a great weekend!

The train is in the platform, the rays are slanting through the loco's smoke & the Starter is pulled off but I still have time to get on board. This was the day of the inaugural run of British Railways Standard 5 4-6-0 73156 and as a shareholder my seat was booked.

Streamlined SL7 4-6-2 751 was constructed by Kawasaki in 1934 for the South Manchuria Railway and was operated for the Japanese puppet state of Manchukuo. Pre-war, SL7s pulled the Asia Express & trains reached a top speed of 140 kilometres per hour (87 mph). The other engines are QJ 2-10-2s.
