LMR 600 Gordon
Longmoor Military Railway number 600 Gordon is a
preserved British steam locomotive.
An enormous engine it has a 2-10-0 design
and was built in Glasgow in 1943.
Gordon served on the Longmore Military Railway which terminated in the
Hampshire village of Liss, the village where I grew up.
I later moved to Kidderminster and discovered that Gordon was now on
the preserved railway which starts in the town; The Severn Valley Railway.
No longer in service, Gordon is on display in the engine house at Highley.
This piece portrays Gordon in all his glory thundering along the tracks
and with the time signature changes, crossing over points
