35024 East Asiatic Company departing Waterloo with a Bournemouth express in 1949. Note that while the Spam Can wears BR livery, the first two coaches are still in Southern green, showing the transitional state of the railways at the time. The railways had been nationalised the previous year, but applying the new state-owned brand took some time. Incidentally, this photo may have been the inspiration for Hornby and Graham Farish's models of 35024 in this livery.
