This post (13th November 2010) features the LMS 'Princess Royal' class (8P) 'Pacific', 6201 Princess Elizabeth, of William Stanier, and four other more modern locomotives, all photographed by Bob McClellan.

2005 was a busy year for Bob in and around Winwick, all three pics and more to come in future, were taken in that year.

Pic number one is a shot of the Stanier 4-6-2 heading a railtour, northbound, through Winwick Junction on 23rd August 2005.

Bob's second shot features Freightliner locos treble-heading an intermodal working through Red Bank on 22nd August 2005. The locos were Freightliner class 86s, 86609, 86610 and class 90, 90048. The latter was heading south from Polmadie.

The final shot is of Virgin liveried class 57, 57314 Fire Fly dragging a Pendolino set through Winwick Junction, due to overhead wires problems further north.
