Seen here heading the 10:33 train from Cheltenham Racecourse to Broadway.  

In this instance, I was on my way to Far Stanley to do some photography there, but decided to take a diversion to the bridge over the line at Dixton Cutting to photograph a train there.  With 35006 pointing south, I photographed the working from the east side of the bridge to avoid getting a tender-first shot.  

Despite being taken under very overcast conditions, I am quite pleased with how this shot has turned out.  The only slight issue is a piece of vegetation that strays in front of the locomotive slightly, so I'm in two minds as to whether or not to sell this image (requests will be considered).
