The distinctive, if not beautiful lines of Bristol Barrow Road's BR-built 'Caprotti Black 5' 44745 are admired from the sidelines by a small group of enthusiasts as she passes Skelton Junction at Timperley in Cheshire. This 'M986' working is a Bristol to Aintree in Liverpool 'Grand National' race day special. Saturday 10th April 1954.
