At the south end of Grantham station, 60007 Sir Nigel Gresley has arrived with an up express on 7th August 1957. Contemporary colour transparencies show that this A4 had nameplates painted with a bright red background at this time. As usual being a Kings Cross favourite, it is in immaculate condition despite being due a major overhaul in just 3 months time (when it would be fitted with a double chimney).
