NER Atlantic and dynamometer car

Post by 52D »

Hi guys just obtained this shot of NER Atlantic No.697 and dynamometer car. Is this the one in the NRM?

Location could be looking across the ECML from Tweedmouth shed to Tweedmouth South cabin and the start of the Tweed Dock branch.
Hi interested in the area served by 52D. also researching colliery wagonways from same area.

Yes it's the same one that's in the NRM, used for Mallard's record run and for the interchange trials in 1948
