Old Pix Brought to the Fore
<u>Southern Steam</u><br>Truth be told I didn't actually know when or where this shot of Adams O2 class 0-4-4T 30199 was taken but Peter Raw informs me that: <i>it's Exmouth with the station and engine shed behind the camera. The box controlled the junction to Exeter and the spur off to Sidmouth Junction on the right. All that remains is a single line to Exeter controlled from Exeter power box.</i><br>30199 was a product of Nine Elms works in 1891 to the design of Adams and she worked until her withdrawal from 71A Eastleigh shed in December 1962 being one of the massive cull of pre-grouping engines during that auspicious month. That was the real end of SR steam for me personally rather than July 1967.Previous | Next<u>Southern Steam</u><br>The RCTS sponsored North Somerset railtour ran on 28/4/57 and started from Waterloo with Urie N15 class 4-6-0 30453 <i>King Arthur</i> as the motive power as far as Reading General which is where she's depicted here. The next leg, to Bristol TM was hauled by 3440 <i>City of Truro</i>. 30453 was a Salisbury engine from nationalisation until her withdrawal from 72B in July 1961.
