Happy 150th birthday Heaton Train Sheds! Thanks to Northern Trains for organising a nosy around the traincare centre. Was great to see various generations of ECML HSTs on display!

The Nene Valley Railway feels like Kings Cross c.1950 today. Standing on the Flying Scotsman footplate, you look across the tracks and you see another Pacific, 60163 Tornado. Fantastic #flyingscotsman #railwayphotography #railways #nvr #peterborough #gresley #steamtrains #steamlocomotives
