LMS Stanier Black 5 - 44828364 viewsTrain Spotters delight ! and me on the platform in a Duffle coat.
Leeds Holbeck Black 5 - 44828 leaves the central platform heading north possibly on a stopping train to Carlisle.
The engine lamp code of the Black 5 in the main platform shows it to be a light engine and looks like it is taking on water, whilst a Stanier tank works in the sidings.
