Fat Controller Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 (edited) The 8F at Ammanford is heading north towards Shrewsbury; Ammanford (Tirydail) only had one platform, on the Glamorgan side. The train may well be the 'Burton' empties, which used to return empty wagons that had brought beer to Swansea Victoria. I can't read the shed plate, but wonder if the loco's one of the Paxton St locos that went to Llanelly (87F) or Neath (87A) when the Swansea shed closed. Not sure what the dragline is doing in the background, unless it's cleaning the river Loughor. In latter years, the area where it is standing became 'Cale's Scrapyard', owned by the uncle of avant-garde musician John Cale.

Fat Controller Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 8 minutes ago, The Stationmaster said: Brian, There was a station at Swansea East Dock - it was the Rhondda & Swansea Bay Railway's Swansea terminus. However it closed in 1936 so that photo very definitely wasn't taken there. That's why I discounted it. Could it be Neath Canalside? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure that it's the same place (Ammanford) as the 8F - see that large concrete pipe on the ground in the background then look at what's happening in the background beyond the 8F.

I wonder if it could be Morriston West? 3719 is Ammanford station the Swansea east dock is for the photo of 11511 John Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium 65179 Posted November 18, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 18, 2019 (edited) Likely to be from Bristol in 45682's case and from over the Pennines (possibly via the Calder Valley)for 45717.

RMweb Premium keefer Posted November 21, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 21, 2019 E51431 is interesting for the small (diagram?) number plate on the nearest lamp-iron. Pretty hard-to-spot in pics! Anytime I've seen something similar it was simply a card/plate in the secondman's windscreen. A nice, crisp detail shot anyway. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah. Double chimney. I did enlarge the photo and it did seem to be 5084 but is a bit blurred. The shortish nameplate also fits whereas some of the other nameplates were huge, such as the Earl one below it. Jason 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
