Class 61xx No.6167, as photographed in a partially-rebuilt state in March 2012. Withdrawn a while beforehand, this locomotive used to be one of the primary steam locomotives of the railway, pulling heavy stone trains across the country. These days it is in a partially disassembled state, awaiting work done on it so it can become operational once again; the locomotive was hastily reassembled for the purposes of these photographs.

The side profile of the locomotive. As far as its performance goes this locomotive's motor is fine - it's the electrical connections that fault this locomotive, specifically the ability to short-circuit when the leading bogie connects with the cylinders on the tighter radii of the railway's curves. As well, the locomotive needs more weight in the smokeox to give an all-around better footprint on the rails.

The front of the locomotive features the accurate shapes and flavour of the classic GWR Large Prairie design. Though the funnel is not copper-capped it still remains as a decent locomotive here.

The tanks feature the famous BR Late-Crest logo, and are rather plain-looking in comparison to No.5108's tanks - overall, the locomotive's entire looks are more plain and simplified than No.5108's looks. However, the locomotive makes up for this with a sturdy, heavier feeling than the other locomotive, with a slower starting speed and more pulling power.

The bunker and cab of the locomotive, where the numberplates (here, transfers) are solid and the cab itself is sound. The trailing bogie tends to short out when coming into contact with the bottom of the bunker - a bit of remedial work will fix this problem soon enough, though.

The rear of the locomotive, where some cosmetic work can clearly be seen as needed. Overall this locomotive used to be a capable performer, but misuse and neglect before coming into my posession has warranted its withdrawal. Whether it will run again or not remains to be seen...
