What's wrong with this photo?
Vasilchikoff.
Could it be the fact an inspection cover is hanging off the bodyside. This was taken during a period when BR was very run down. The BR Board chairman who finished in 1983 (Sir Peter Parker) called it the 'Crumbling Edge of Quality' and how right he was ! This photo taken in the Winter shows a loco with no train heat ability about to work a passenger train over the Pennine Hills probably because the booked class 31 had already broken down.
