    Evening all

    I have added a few new photos to my preserved A4 collection, the first photo was taken this afternoon at Wareham taken by Tony Costello of 4464 Bittern running tender first on the Cathedrals express

    With other locos and carriages present in the photo, could it have been part of the 1990 NRM on tour train in which many exhibits including Mallard came to Swindon?

    In 1990, the NRM was undergoing major refurbishment (roof?) so temporarily transferred some exhibits around the country.

    Thanks for the clarification.

    Living down south, I seldom took notice of exhibitions that were far afield and required a lot of travelling. The 1990 NRM on tour came to my doorstep!
