TRAINSPOTTERS were in for a treat in Hereford last night as a stunning steam locomotive pulled through the station.
Built in 1930 at Derby Works the steam engine started life as 6152 The King's Dragoon Guardsman.
But its identity was swapped with 6100 Royal Scot in 1933 and sent sent to the Century of Progress Exposition of 1933, where it toured Canada and the United States with a train of LMS carriages.
After the tour, the engine was fitted with special commemorative plates that sit below her nameplates.
Hereford Times Camera Club members, who took these pictures, were among the lucky crowd who saw the locomotive as it arrived in Hereford on September 15.
