This video clip was taken from the thoughtfully provided viewing area opposite the Swanage Railway's engine shed and works. 

In the background is another Bullied Pacific the unrebuilt Battle of Britain Class 4-6-2 No 34072 257 Squadron.  The colloquial name for these unrebuilt engines was apparently 'spam cans'.  And it's not too dificult to see why!

 34072 was looking a bit forlorn, as it awaits the appeal outcome to raise funds for the engine's restoration to its former glory.
