BR 4MT 2-6-0 76079 pulls away from its coaching stock after arrival at Manchester Victoria on 21st April 2003. 76079 had just taken us, tender first, round the Oldham Loop on one of five 'Cotton Spinner' trips that day. It is heading for a siding, just out of view (See image 51826) for stabling while 45407 takes the next trip. Plenty of chimney music up Platting Bank and the 1:50 through Hollinwood to Oldham for the princely sum of fifteen pounds.
