This picture of class 37 No 37058 at Crewe was posted on the ModMod mailing list, as a comparison with the poorly-received (by the rivet-counters on the list, at least) new Bachmann model.
It’s a fine detail shot for modellers, showing a lot of bogie and front end detail. But it struck me as a good character shot as well; of a old and battered locomotive nearing the end of it’s working life. Here’s another more conventional three-quarter view, departing with a train for the North Wales Coast line, with the front coach (a Mk1 TSO, no less), filled with bashers.
There are a lot more good photos at www.53a-pix.co.uk.
