2863 1956c Bath

I bet the lads on the platform have been pleased to see 2863 on the eastbound line here at Bath Spa as she's an Aberdare based locomotive quite a way from home at the head of what looks like a possible coal train, but it might be something else in those well filled wagons. 2863 looks to be in a pretty good condition especially for a freight engine, still has not been fitted with outside steam pipes, and if she's come up from South Wales as I suspect, she will doubtless have worked through the Severn Tunnel.
