Spams must be a genius if he thinks he knows what that tender is but perhaps the fact he has seen a copy of a photo Colin Penfold sent me helped.

It's a Bulleid 4500gal tender with raves still attached (not cut down). There's only one tender (ok 2 if you count the larger 5500gal version) with that profile.

I'd have guessed even had I not seen this a while back...

That narrows the search for the actual loco Chris and Rob has the date photo taken ('57). I'd go for a B of B from Friary/72A and hazard a guess at 34072 but there were loads like this in '57.

Your play!

An interesting working for the familiarisation trip especially with this load of coaches.

I like the fact the the coach with Firsts had roof strips; plebs could get soaked seemingly.

Did that have a 4500 tender?

Well it shouldn't have, as of course you know! But it got 3257 in 1958.

Needs more coal in the bunker, or the driver's hit the brakes quite hard.

Is it the new Anti-Rhino device? - Designed to keep any stray Rhino off the tracks :-)

It's done well to get to the South Hams all the way from Polmadie, Glasgow.

Pity it's in LMS drab, this one is more colourful:

I will have you know Sir, that GWR Rhino's are very well behaved animals, and will not stray onto tracks in any circumstances! They certainly do not need a foreign engine to remind them of that!

Yours respectfully, Drs R. H. Ino-Tuinstra, Chairman of the "GWR society for useful Rhino employment"

As there's no crew I'm guessing that it's a runaway ;-p

I'm not surprised it's running away, it's probably come via the Savvan.

Great combination. Am I the only one not fully to have appreciated the size/length difference between the 3MT and the 4MT (don't often see 'real life' pix of the two together, and I never actually saw an 82XXX at all).. We tend to go around retrospectively saying that such and such a class was unnecessary - the bigger (or smaller) version could have done the job - but I'm not sure we all get the sheer size constraints involved. It tends to crop up with items like short-tender Sandringhams for tiny tiny GE turntables, but perhaps we don't always see the bigger requirements picture?

Captain Kernow · January 23, 2016

Seriously, Robin, what is the rationale for the Fairburn 2-6-4T, other than 'it's my trainset?' (fine by me if it's the latter, by the way).

Its owner , not me btw,wanted to see it on here, apparently by doing so it's doubled in value.I promise not to shew anything else LMS in future.

I confess, it's all my fault.... But no LMS? Are you going to renumber-repaint the next one then....?. :jester:

gwrrob · January 23, 2016

A more appropriate double header for this thread . Here's hoping it's better received.

Splendid image Rob. I am quite partial to a 2.6.4T and the Fairburn is a good example. Much more appealing than a large Prairie.

I much prefer the small prairies to the large.

An unusual example of small one being preferable to large ones.

Rub.

Mallard60022 · January 23, 2016

Around 3 dozen of those Fairburns worked around the BR Southern until replaced by Standards; any excuse........................................

The Fatadder · January 23, 2016

Could I make a request?

I'd rather like to see some centenarys please, don't mind what's in front of it (the coaches are far more interesting than tge poco!)

cary hill · January 23, 2016

Anything's more interesting than tge poco!
