What can be more "The Age Of Steam" than a steamtrain on the classic route of Settle to Carlisle with the loco LMS Coronation Class Duchess of Sutherland number 46233 here passing a bridge?
Stranraer Harbour on the Western Lines of Scotland route. A BR 6MT departs for Carlisle and the south, while a BR 2MT with a local passenger train simmers at the platform. Both are BR standard classes from the '50s and unusually for British railway practice have nearly identical control arrangements in the cab. Both typified Riddle's design philosophy of "The least number of parts to get the job done."
