Black 5 45407 (running as 45157) standing at a signal on the 1:50 gradient just outside Oldham Werneth with a 'Cotton Spinner' trip round the Oldham Loop from Manchester Victoria on 21st April 2003. A member of the crew is climbing down to use the phone at the signal. Alternate trips were made chimney first then tender first. I recall the good sound effects when the 4-6-0 got the train underway again once the signal cleared.
