Firing

Howard, the driver of Q6 No. 63395, took the shovel on the trip back to Pickering. He certainly had to work hard as the locomotive hauled its train up the 1 in 49 gradient to Goathland. This wide angle shot illustrates just how cramped the Q6 footplate actually is - I had to squeeze into the corner immediately behind the driver to keep out of the crew's way.
