33053 is on loan to the Northampton and Lamport Railway having been previously based at the Chinnor and Princes Risborough Railway. It is seen sitting idle at Pitsford and Brampton station ready to work the first Santa special the following day. I have fond memories of this particular locomotive from my days living in the West Country photographing it a number of times and travelling behind it along the beautiful Avon Valley. Resident locomotive 31289 stands behind the Crompton.
