The Eastleigh works open days were greatly appreciated by enthusiasts in the fifties and sixties although I attended only one such. This image of Bulleid/Raworth Co+Co electric loco No. 20002 was taken during just such a jolly but not by yours truly. The open day in question was on August 16th, 1964 and the other visible loco is ex-works Bulleid Merchant Navy 35007 <i>Aberdeen Commonwealth.</i>

Old Pix Brought to the Fore
Bulleid Battle of Britain pacific nameplate <i>BIGGIN HILL</i> attached to No. 34057.Previous | NextWorplesdon wouldn't normally spring to mind as a likely location for a hotbed of action in the steam era but on occasions that's exactly what it was when the main line via Basingstoke was occupied for engineering works as was the case on April 25th, 1965. Here we see Bulleid Q1 class 0-6-0 No. 33020 running light and tender first towards Woking. Added interest is the handiwork of the enthusiasts' community as the smokebox number plate has been manipulated to read 'C20' and that same number has been chalked on the door itself.
