The line up is at St. Margarets shed and could date from as late as 1965. I visited the depot on the first Sunday of July that year and (from memory) there were examples of all four types of Pacific on shed (including 60121 and 60530), although they were all inside the shed and not conveniently lined up for photography.

photo 31388: 60532 has the electrification flashes and possibly also the divided smokebox handrail with the top lamp iron between -difficult to make out . If so, possibly C7/62 until withdrawal in 1966.

Getting an error response to trying Neil's "www.steamlocomotives.photos.gb .... " links, above :
"Error. Page cannot be displayed. Please contact your service provider for more details. ...",
which I've never seen for anyone's links before.

Apart from 'contacting my SP', any 'clicknology' experts amongst us who can suggest a reason/solution please?

The original message here dates from 2010 and the links are the old Fotopic ones which as you know went defunct

My new Smugmug site has the photos now
All LNER added so far are here

Just click a collection for 100's of pics

Thanks Neil,
I didn't realise the old links led to 'Fotopics'. (I somehow hadn't noticed the age of that post either, but don't tell anyone.)
