Post by Deepol »

Old photo I found when going through some old floppy disks of her approaching Edinburgh Waverley with the Queen of Scots.

Unlucky Merry Hampton, i wish i could have preserved her after what she went through in her career, off the rails at Cramlington due to Sabotage then off again at Goswick due to various circumstances. Accident report and Pathe feature below.
