An O.S. Bullied rebuilt Merchant Navy 4-6-2 35030 Elder Dempster Lines waits for the off on a perfect morning in London at Waterloo station with the down ACE. It’s home depot at the time was 70A Nine Elms and the staff there have made a great job of turning the engine out in fine condition. It will take the train to Exeter Central where here it will be divide and head off in different directions into Devon and Cornwall, soon for the last time. There was just a little over 3 more years of Southern steam to go.
