This afternoon at Errol, between Dundee and Perth, hauling a train from Inverness to Edinburgh the long way, a double headed pair of Stanier Black 5's....always good to see....and hear...
Trainspotting!

Lost me there I'm afraid.....but whatever you think?
Something just looks classically “right” about the proportions of a Black Five engine and tender.

Nice piece of engineering. The first Triple Black?
What a fabulous bit of engineering. When you see one, it's not just the sight but the sound and the wonderful smell... sensory overload.
BTW what defines that as a Black 5?

Class five. (Defined by tractive effort)

Most numerous* class of steam loco in the uk, half a dozen different builders, quick enough for passenger duty, sufficient grunt for most freight. One of William Stanier’s best.
