Double-chimney A3 Pacific No 60066 Merry Hampton climbs past Belle Isle from Gasworks tunnel with the down 'Yorkshire Pullman' on 8th May 1961.

Peter Kerslake says "60066 clears the notorious Gas Works Tunnel and heads towards the less fearsome Copenhagen Tunnel and the ascent of Holloway bank, a favourite location for lineside cameramen over many years past."
