Well actually no, it will be Wigan for New Mills but we couldn't resist this lovely snap of a rather worn Black 5 pulling away from Wigan with a northbound passenger train in the mid 1960s. First coach is a Thompson vehicle so possibly a cross-country service originating from the East? Although our New Mills layout captures the WCML south of Crewe we do reflect this fascinating period on the former LNWR main line when steam played out it's final swansong, grimy but unbowed! The exhibition is on December 10th & 11th with full details at http://www.wiganfrm.org.uk/exhibition.html
