Pic number one shows class 50, 50008 Thunderer, in BR 'Laira Blue' livery treble heading, light engine with class 56, 56312 ARTEMIS and class 56, 56311. The shot was taken at Winwick Junction on  6th June 2011 by John Smith. 50008 was one of fifty, class 50 locos built by English Electric at Vulcan Foundry (just down the road from Winwick) in 1967-68. 50008 is currently based on the East Lancashire Railway.
