Steam Locomotive 46115 Scots Guardsman passing Aldermaston Station

A sunnier than expected July morning and a steam train passing Aldermaston Station, a nice combination. Here are a few pictures I managed to take, including a bonus picture of a trainspotting squirrel which entertained us while we were waiting for the train:

The locomotive is the LMS Royal Scot Class 6115 Scots Guardsman, passing at a fairly low speed after taking on water at Theale.
