The tidying up continues - here are some monochrome pictures I took in my early days with fixed focus cameras and very little technical knowledge. I regret I have no specific dates for them other than that they were taken in the 1950's. I make no apology for the quality - they were the best I could do with the rather basic equipment that was all I could afford at the time, combined with commercial processing. I just trust that they may be of some interest and/or entertainment.
D15 62509, fitted with a former oil carrying tender, enters Hunstanton station with a local train from Kings Lynn. The loco was not long for withdrawal.
B17/6 61627 Aske Hall on the yard at Hunstanton having turned and watered, waits to back on to a return London passenger working.
Standard (f 2-10-0 92153 blasts up Essendine bank with a fitted freight.
One of Leicester Midland's 2P 4-4-0's, believed 40485 waits for the road at Cattle Market sidings, Leicester.
An unidentified ex-LNWR G2a heads south through the outskirts of Leicester along the Midland main line' A Hughes 'Crab' at speed with a northbound freight heading towards Loughborough.
That's it, folks - but I do have a few monochromes of the DB in 1983-ish if anyone is interested...........?

PS apologies for the late edit on the last picture of the Crab - a senior moment (again!!) I'm afraid. !
