Clan Line At Stratford-upon-Avon - August 1986
Page I
I caught Clan Line on one wet Sunday afternoon at Stratford-upon-Avon in early August 1986. No. 35028
had brought in that week's Shakespeare Limited - a dining train originating from London Marylebone station. I will
never forget being impressed by the sheer bulk of this locomotive. As you can see she was beautifully
turned out - a real credit to her crew. Her departure was very impressive - not a hint of wheel slip
on what must have been very greasy rails.

No. 35028 runs round. Never hurts to have an extra bag or two of coal on hand!
