Newcastle Central

Beautifully turned out A3 Pacific 60052 Prince Palatine stands at Newcastle Central with the 1X18 Scottish Locomotive Preservation Fund special on 5 June 1965. The Pacific had brought the train from Edinburgh via the ECML and was about to head for Carlisle. Sadly, the A3 developed a problem during the leg to Carlisle, resulting in A4 60027 Merlin taking over for the journey back to Edinburgh via the Waverley route. See image 30944
