SVR. LMS Ivatt Class 4 2-6-0 #43106 departs from Bridgenorth in June 1971. In the early days of preservation, the railways were more casual. The wire fence along the walkway has been substantially strengthened and there were less visitors. Even with fewer visitors, there was always someone who wanted their back in your photo.
