img001 - Copy - Copy.jpg I took this picture of Jubilee 45652 'Hawke', stationed (I believe) at 14B Kentish Town at the time, near Newton Harcourt. This location was just a little south of the actual milepost 100 used as a trade name by a publisher of railway pictures. The loco was working hard as there is an adverse gradient on this part of the line for southbound traffic. Once again, apologies for the movement on the front offside of the loco, but I had only a simple camera. After all, I was a young teenager on a limited income at the time..........;).
