Some more prototype photos
The previous posting had photos of one of Wellingtons ex GWR 2-6-2 tanks and attached is a photo of that loco in 1960 when it still had the old BR emblem on the tanks. In the background is a Dukedog from Whrexham wich was stored at Wellington over the winter before being returned to its home base in the spring.
A feature of Wellingtons Pannier tanks was the fittment of overhead warning flashes as the locos would work to Crewe on the passenger trains from Wellington. The attached photo shows 9774 with those flashes were were not common on Pannier tanks. I have modeled this loco.
The coal trains from Granville colliery interchanged at Donnington and required a brake van at both ends for reversing at Wellington and Madely junct. Attached is a photo taken 1965 showing 48436 light engine with brake van approaching Donnington station from Wellington. Not the best photo but taken on a cheap box camera by me.
