One of my favourite Class 56 pictures from the 1980s. In perfect autumnal light, 56034 Castell Ogwr / Ogmore Castle passes Shrivenham on 25 October 1985 with the 6V38 11:52 Wolverton to Stoke Gifford ARC stone empties. 56034 had only been named a few months previously, and this is my first picture of it with its bilingual nameplate. The only downside to this picture is that at the time my Pentax 6x7 was loaded with Kodak Tri-x b&w film, so this is unfortunately only from a 35mm slide. |
