Met camm lightweight at near Sennowe Park between County School and Ryburgh

Unknown date

A Met-Camm publicity image of a 2-car "Lightweight" set working a Norwich-Wells service. The location is probably beside the River Wensum near Sennowe Park on the County School to Ryburgh section of the Wells branch, looking north west. Trailer car E79268 is leading. The date will be the mid 1950's given the clean condition of the set which evidently hasn't seen a huge amount of service. Chris Moxon Collection.
