From David Birt's book 'Steaming Through the 1980s; Steam Resurrected in and around Derby': What a sight for Merchant Navy lovers! Preserved Merchant Navy class steam locomotive Clan Line 35028 makes a spectacular sight, even tender first, as it heads 'The Derwent Explorer' out of Derby Midland Station towards Spondon and Nottingham. (To your photographer this picture reminds him of a scene from Agatha Christie's Orient Express which only the Merchant Navy class could fulfil).
