In late 1972 or early 1973, we made a visit to the Bulmer’s Railway
Centre at Hereford, to see the NRM preserved King Class 4-6-0 locomotive No.
6000 King George V. I had seen her once previously - on 28/9/1962 - when I went
with my dad to watch her rushing a northbound special through Gobowen. For a
time, after 1968, she and Flying Scotsman were the only operational express
steam engines with dispensation to run on British Rail.
We photographed her at the Bulmers’ sidings and at speed on the Welch Marches main line.
