It didn't quite fit but it was not a planned photograph anyway! As I was making my way down to WQeybournce station I heard 92203 'Black Prince' blowing its whilst approaching the crossing on Lelling Heath and having nowhere to go I had to take the best photograph that I could. Leading a Holt to Sheringham private train it cautiously descends the bank at almost walking place being up against the Weybourne distant at danger. In this view, it clearly shows the huge gap between the boiler and the frame of this class of locomotive that led to their being known as 'spaceships in part at least! They were the pinnacle of steam locomotive design with many built after many of the first-generation diesels were in service.
