In the perfect evening light, 45121 gets away from Wellingborough station with the 17.30 Sheffield to London St. Pancras stopper. The low light illuminating the bulk of the Peak picks out its 1Co-1Co wheel arrangement carrying their rather overweight one hundred and thirty-three tons. As can be seen, Graham and I are in a rather exposed position right opposite Wellingborough Junction signal box but the signalman seemed unperturbed by our presence.
