@nattj.bsky.social @railfocus.bsky.social I used Teemill for this T Shirt. Just transfer printed but the detail is there. It's a one off I can wear it on the @railwaycts.bsky.social stand at the Cardiff Model Railway show.

Morning. A 'Peak' runs round the Harwich Boat Train in Platform 5 at Manchester Piccadilly. It is the early 1970s. I'm listening to WHO'S NEXT. Great 📷 c.Bob Avery. Click the image to see his Flickr pages.

Running Round
The Harwich Boat train has arrived at Manchester Piccadilly's P5 and the engine is running round. I'm not sure of date, early 70s I think.
