40013 ‘Andania’ & 50050 make a brilliant appearance at Chester - The Thistle & Dragon - 22/08/2026
I haven’t seen 40013 for over two years now, so it was great to catch it again, and it looked and sounded amazing as it departed in the evening sunlight.
There was a lot of people who came out to see this as well so it was not easy to get shots but hopefully you’ll enjoy what I managed to get.
