The Sherwood Forester 45231 approaching Mold Junction
The Sherwood Forester, Stanier Class 5 locomotive, hauls The Welsh Mountaineer excursion from Preston to Blaenau Ffestiniog. According to the Internet travelling tender-first is not unusual for this class of locomotive. Seen here it is approaching the railway bridge at Mold Junction and I imagine the sky will be even more grey when it gets to Blaenau.
