Met-Camm "Lightweight" E79289 in Doncaster Works, circa 1967. This is a good example of the vinyl stickers for the BR logo and rail alphabet numbers being applied before the blue paint - they had an extra layer that was peeled off after painting. Behind is a Calder Valley car and another Met-Camm. Stuart Mackay Collection.
