Rare sight indeed - No 28 on a freight through Princes Risborough.
Don't think it happened often

It looks absolutely spotless - and I mean absolutely spotless, not a hint of dirt anywhere on the streamlined casing. Could this be a running in turn, fresh out of the works?

My guess is that it went down to Marylebone for inspection by the man himself and was worked via the GC. It is immaculate and therefore I am also presuming that places the picture as taken sometime in or shortly after October 1947.
