Another shot of the newly named 'Stratford 1840-2001' Class 31 diesel locomotive 31271. Note the "Stratford Sparrow" plate on the cab-side.
<P>
This shot was taken at the Rail200 Railfest at the National Railway Museum in York on 31/05/2004. The young girl in the cab is a good illustration of the unprecidented (in my limited experience) access to the footplates and cabs of almost all the locomotives on display, from the LNWR 2-2-2 <I>Cornwall</I> to a Virgin Pendolino.
