LNER B1 4-6-0 on turntable at Buxton during 1963 Rail Tour.
View eastward, on northern edge of Buxton. The former London & North Western engine shed was to the left, beside the line to Manchester via Chapel-en-le-Frith. The Rail Tour, organised by the Railway Correspondence & Travel Society, was fascinating:- London St Pancras - Derby - Chaddesden Loop - Trent - Codnor Park - Butterley - Ambergate - Matlock - Buxton - Ashbourne - Uttoxeter - Tutbury - Burton-on-Trent - Ashby-de-la-Zouch - Coalville - Knighton South Junction, then back to St Pancras on the main line. But it was rather stressful and a great rush, as SR 'West Country' 34006 steamed badly, getting to Derby 80 minutes late and we had to skip a Works Visit. B1 61004 took over at Derby and hauled us all the complex way via Buston and back to Burton, where 34006 - which now felt a little better - took over again and but had a struggle to get back to St Pancras, which we reached at 22.15 ('only' 40 minutes late).
