Peterborough's New England MPD-allocated BR Riddles '9F' 2-10-0 No. 92181 simmers outside Doncaster MPD in July 1963. This view emphasises the powerful, bulky presence of these fine locomotives when seen in close proximity. 92181 was built at Swindon in November 1957 and was prematurely withdrawn in February 1965 after less than eight years' service.
