I remember in the 70’s it was rare to see 20’s at Wellingborough but would occasionally work into Finedon Road on a Coal Train on a Saturday morning in place of a 44 Peak. I see most bridges have gone or lined out and the Lever Boxes and Semaphores all gone too. The lines Midland character has gone as well. Progress.
I suppose it’s better to have sound (others may disagree) although it’s bears no relationship to the journey, as witnessed by AWS bells/buzzers going off with no relationship to the AWS magnets ~
