4965 "Rood Ashton Hall", Old Hill, 3rd March 2001
GWR "Hall" class 4-6-0 No. 4965 "Rood Ashton Hall" is double-heading with 4936 "Kinlet Hall", though this engine only gets its bufferbeam into the shot! They are hard at work on the 1 in 81 to 1 in 51 gradient on Old Hill bank, having just passed through the station a few minutes late at 08:30 with "The Flying Carpet", 08:00 from Kidderminster to Paddington. It was a lovely sunny day but the temperature was -4°C, so plenty of condensing steam in the atmosphere. Saturday 3rd March 2001. Slide No. 28640.
