<u>Steam on Shed</u><br>Not many pre-war locos survived the Southern's 1962 cull but some of Maunsell's handsome 'W' class 2-6-4T's did. For a change this is a slide I took myself and the mount complete with data has also survived and so we know that 31913 was snapped at Norwood shed (75C) on July 14th, 1963 and still had another 10 months of service still to come.

<u>Steam on Shed</u><br>This was taken in the goods yard near Wibledon's 'C' box on December 2nd, 1962 during the mid-tour break for the pair of Beattie 0298 class 2-4-0WT's 30585 and 30587. The juxta-positioned Maunsell 'U' class mogul 31796 was simply good fortune.Previous | Next<u>Steam on Shed</u><br>N15X 4-6-0 32333 <i>Remembrance</i> in malachite livery but with BR numbers applied. I had the displeasure of seeing this loco, by then in a sorry state but with plates still in situ, dumped and awaiting the cutter's torch at Brighton on June 23rd, 1956.
