This afternoon we were treated to the sight of another steamer passing by work. This time it was Jeremy Hoskings' LMS Black Five No45231 "Sherwood Forester", working ECS towards Southall ready for some Saphos jobs in the coming weeks. In persistent drizzle the Black Five slipped gracefully past us with her not so typical coaching stock, some of which was made up of Intercity-liveried Mk3s. An unusual consist but no doubt necessary. I hadn't seen 45231 for quite some years up to now, having ridden behind her a decade or two ago when she was still at the GCR. It was nice to see her again and on the main line too. Until next time then...
