I had failed to photograph this locomotive at the two previous Christmas Diesel Days; I succeeded this time, but this would be my only encounter with the locomotive during the day. The lighting at Arley was not very favourable, and this was the best I could do with this image; in fact, it was the only image I took at Arley that I processed.
