In the yard at York MPD (50A), a couple of engines are ready to go off shed for their next duties, both carrying pilot or trip headlamp codes. On the right is K1 class 2-6-0 No. 62012, while on the left is LMS 8F 2-8-0 No. 48286. Both are adding to the general murk and gloom on the afternoon of Saturday 4th December 1965.

Geoff Plumb returns with another presentation of his excellent photography, this time looking back at 1965. Steam was still in evidence on his local line, the Metropolitan and Great Central Joint, while he also made many visits to the South Western Mainline, the Isle of Wight, North Wales, and other steam strongholds round the country, including many shed and works visits. Steam specials also feature strongly, not only various Society (and other) railtours, but also Sir Winston Churchill’s funeral train. But in many areas, diesel traction was to the fore, and is included in Geoff’s show.

For this virtual event there is a suggested donation of £2. If you wish to contribute just follow the CSL Croydon & South London branch link below.
