They were very much ahead of their time in the UK, though bogie tanks were common on the other side of the pond. The company was taken over by BP and as seen here they remained in use into the late 1960s. They look quite modern, until you see them in close up... 16 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a good illustration of the original condition in the Oakbank Oils book here https://www.scottishshale.co.uk/collections/virtual-library/promotional-guides-and-booklets/ But, unlike all the other interesting books, the link to that one seems broken now! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Ramrig Posted November 27, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 27, 2021 It doesn’t look burnt out. If you zoom in a little it appears to have been involved in a rear shunt/accident. Back platform looks pushed in. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I visited the works at Mountain Ash in 1976 or 1977 and Lord Camrose was inside, separated into its major components and apparently undergoing an overhaul. It hadn't worked for a number of years and certainly wasn't in service when I first visited in 1974. The eponymous Lord Camrose was a Merthyr-born newpaper owner, like his brother Sir Gomer Berry, who also had a loco named after him. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mol_PMB Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 On of two locos converted from steam to electric power. The other was The Coalition. I’ve just been reading about a different loco that was converted from diesel to steam, which probably belongs in the ‘prototype for everything’ thread along with The Eclipse and The Coalition! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
