1963/07/21, 1. Seen from a passing train, 5101 Class 2-6-2T No. 5101 is sitting in the yard outside Swindon Works, hopefully awaiting attention but more likely having arrived for scrapping. Its lined green livery still looks reasonably presentable, but did it ever steam again? Sunday 21st July 1963.Previous | Next1963/10/26. GWR 61xx Class 2-6-2T No. 6135 has presumably had attention fairly recently at Swindon Works and been repainted in unlined green livery,which still looks fairly smart. It is standing in front of the ramp up to the coaling stage, which is full of 16 ton coal wagons, at Old Oak Common MPD and has just had its bunker filled with coal - some of the lumps look as though they will take a bit of manipulating to get them through the firehole door! Saturday 26th October 1963.
