grace and beauty of (arguably) one of Gresley's finest designs can
be appreciated in this picture. LNER V2 60800 Green

off shed at Weybourne on a frosty Monday morning. 60800 visited the
NNR

three
months
and
proved hugely
popular with crews, enthusiasts and the general public alike.

Winter

are not just about trains and locos, as this atmospheric shot at Quorn
