Chris Turnbull Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 Definitely the bridge over the River Eden at Carlisle. Here's my photo of 45061 at the same location on 23rd August 1967. Chris Turnbull 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The roof lines of the buildings on the right behind the shunting engine and carriage are a confirmation. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonny777 Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 The last one of the recent four looks very much like Paddington. Thanks for posting these. I wish I could find a stash of prints such as this, taken by my father. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold TheSignalEngineer Posted November 13, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 13, 2019 From various bits of info it looks as if the County spent its time after leaving the West Country either dead at Swindon, undergoing attention, working at Shrewsbury then dead at Swindon until cut up.

Well, the loco seems to be intact and the tender full of coal so it's probably Swindon ( Are there hills like that ? ) or somewhere it's worked to from Swindon. That chimney behind the 'Duke' should be recognisable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fat Controller Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 I have a slight doubt about the location credited for the photo of 3719, as there was no passenger station at Swansea East Dock (or East Depot, as it was generally known) .

The station looks like the west end of Neath General while the prairie and the 'Castle' are on Court Sart shed - the pylon is a big giveaway. So I do wonder if the 'County' was also photo'd there?

However it closed in 1936 so that photo very definitely wasn't taken there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
