And still ...

... it rains, so some more from the archive.  From the same school trip, 60014, Silver Link in its death throes and three recently delivered Peak Class Diesels at Doncaster shed.  This from Wiki:
Silver Link made its inaugural journey from King's Cross on 29 September 1935. It reached a speed of 112 miles per hour (180 km/h), breaking all previous records.
Allocated to Kings Cross shed, it was withdrawn from service on 29 December 1962 when the East Coast Main Line express services were taken over by Deltic diesel locomotives. It was not preserved after withdrawal and was broken up for scrap at Doncaster Works on 7 September 1963, on the same site where it had been built nearly twenty eight years earlier.
