1963/12/15. In the gathering gloom of dusk at Southall MPD, 4575 Class "Small Prairie" 2-6-2T No. 5531 sits on one of the disposal roads amidst piles of still-glowing ash. In the left background is an unidentified "Castle" Class 4-6-0, while on the right is a 2-8-0 of 28xx Class, both dumped out of use. A track gang is at work, perhaps trying to find some track amongst the detritus! Sunday 15th December 1963.

1963/10/26. 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!
