50011 Evenlode 16 February 1980

Technically a very poor picture, but included here for its historic interest. 50011 Centurion approaches Evenlode on a very dreary 16 February 1980 with the 12:50 Paddington to Worcester Shrub Hill service. At this time there was a full service of loco-hauled trains on the Cotswold Line throughout the day. A Praktica PLC2 with Pentacon 50mm lens wide open at f1.8 is hardly a recipe for a high quality image, but over an hour's work in Photoshop has turned it from totally useless to just about acceptable!
