Britannias were regular visitors at Clacton. Three models grace my layout and, whilst I cannot be sure whether all or any ever operated out of Clacton, they represent those that did. I can recall now, sitting in class at the high school a couple of hundred yards from the main line and hearing that siren whistle. I prayed for the end of the school day, and then raced to the tracks hoping that the "Brit" had not departed.

"Britannia" 70000 with carriages. This model is fitted with Loksound decoder. Awe inspiring sound!

"Robin Hood" 70038 with a goods load.

"Firth of Clyde" passing the top signal box.
