GNR 1247 1962-04-01 Forest Hill
In the unlikely setting of the ex-LB&SCR's Forest Hill Station, the Bluebell Railway Preservation Society's 'Blue Belle' tour was on its way from London Bridge to Horsted Keynes. The preserved GNR Stirling 'J13' (LNER 'J52') Saddletank 1247 looks delightful at the head of its train and being enjoyed by all participants and onlookers. Sunday 1st April 1962
