    D7046 on 1A50 the sidings on the left aren't trapped so the line to the left of the train is a siding , the line the train is on being flat bottom would suggest it is a running line , is the train facing down on the up line with the wagons being on the other running line with loop and siding behind . I would like to suggest Bath Goods , box with three ventilaters and Claverton Down as back drop . Dont mind being proved wrong

    Yatton had the Clevedon branch turning off part the way along the down platform . At Doncaster the Sheffield trains turn off half way along platform 3

    Neath closer than Llanelli , serviced by the Briton Ferry pilot , also Ammanford on the GCG line along with landsales in MDO's at Wernos washery . Briton Ferry was the home of shocvans for the tinplate trade

    Convenient in steam days to detach the assisting engine off the front after propelling back in the platform

    Templecombe had a totally unprototype junction with the Somerset & Dorset which if it never existed any modeler suggesting such would have been derided . If the layout accommodates the service running thats what counts .

    Like the pilot going about its business , shunter with pole ready to knock cuts off or to hook on , nothing like a yard with several cuts running

    Very common before guards were allowed in back cabs , as vans were added enroute another brake was tagged on . Not very good if you've just got the van warmed up , thats why its a goods brake with stove , of course there were parcels brakes with stoves but never enough

    Flooding on the Somerset levels between Langport West and Martock , trains ran through the floods and had enough steam to get to Yeovil or Taunton where the fire could be sorted out

    College Road goods was used by the C&W , the yard being full of 16 tonners spaced about 4 yards apart to allow work on draw gear and buffers . Remember passing by with it hammering down with rain and staff in yellow waterproofs working away with no cover at all like many C&W locations

    Looks like raac concrete roof

    The best place for SR parcels stock was Kyle of Lochalsh

    The bankers always faced uphill and went down on the front of trains to St Davids and then cut off and straight into the loco road ready to bank the next up train . So this is a very rare phot , well done phil
