I'd much rather see it without the streamlining myself; but it's a beauty either way.

Quite a few of this class used to hammer through Wigan in the early 1960's. I used to see them from next to Wigan Wallgate station as did many others.I was a trainspotter !
Standing on North Western when one of these came through was pure magic. The place shook with the power and stays with you for ever
