35006's Boiler Toddington 31 March 1990

Painted in red oxide primer, the firebox and boiler of Southern Railway Merchant Navy Class 4-6-2 35006 Peninsular & Oriental S. N. Co. really stands out in the late afternoon light at Toddington on 31 March 1990. The loco had arrived at the Gloucestershire & Warwickshire Railway in 1983, but the painstaking restoration would be a long affair, with the loco finally entering traffic in 2016.
