The Repton coming into a station
A Schools Class 4-4-0 steam engine, the Repton, pulling into the deserted railway station at Pickering on a summer's morning. The Schools class is a type of steam locomotive designed by Richard Maunsell for UK's Southern Railway and operated between 1930 and 1963. The were designed specifically for the Tonbridge–Hastings line in South East England which had severe restrictions imposed by the tunnels and sharp curves on the route. Hence their short wheelbase and markedly curved profile of the driver's cab.
