Hi, Tony.
As a boy trainspotter I was one afternoon shocked to see Evening Star pass slowly over my regular spotting place of the Montpellier St bridge by Camp Hill Station. Unfortunately, like you I can only date the event to 1961 or 62. The engine was without coaches and was heading in the direction of Birmingham New St or Snow Hill. My fellow train-spotters didn't believe me at first, but one of them checked the loco's movements and it was indeed in the area at the time. I never witnessed it again.
