Two images of Bittern whilst she was taking on water at Challow Station. 13 August @ ~ 1130.
A rousing departure, given the fact that the engine must be around 75 years old.
Running on the GWML from London Victoria to Bristol Temple Meads.

Re: LNER 4464 Bittern
Ay up, NG!
Lovely shots - those valances really add summat to a "Streak", don't they?
I just wish that railtours were provided with summat other than a total rag bag of stock, though!

If I ain't here, I'm in Bilston, scoffing decent chips at last!!!!

Saw it depart Bracknell last night. Had that lovely 'off beat' beat 1-2-3-4 5-6
I think she is out again on Wed (or Thurs?)

Nice to see Bittern out working for a living again.
I agree with BB on that request about the coaches, Bittern looks like she's taking a load of old withdrawn stock to 'Donny' for scrapping, even 'Teak' Mk 1's would be better than that mismatched ensemble of coaches.
Bring back black and white photography

Re: LNER 4464 Bittern
As requested, two B&W images of 4464 @ Challow.
As stated, B&W has a feel about it most suited to steam locos.

Thank you Neil, that's quite an improvement, doesn't look half as bad.

Re: LNER 4464 Bittern
Stunning photos, thanks for sharing. Nothing like an A4 in full-out LNER colors in steam.
