Description: Ex GWR Large Prairie engine 5199 spent most of its working life in the Birmingham area based at Tyseley from 1934 to 49. It is photographed here in the Forest of Dean, visiting from the Llangollen Railway. The image depicts the engine as she would have worked, pulling a local passenger service on a branch line.
Description: A black and white image of Great Western Railway engine 2857 pulling the early morning goods train through Arley station on the Severn Valley Railway early on a foggy morning. This nostalgic, almost eerie image of a goods train on a foggy morning with the station master walking up the platform has a period feel to it! 2857 was built in Swindon in 1918 and was in service until 1963. This class of engine (2800) was responsible for hauling most of the long distance heavy freight trains on the GWR / BR western region for almost 60 years!
Description: A black and white image of Modified Hall Class 4-6-0 No. 7903 Foremarke Hall, built in March 1949 and withdrawn from British Rail service in 1964. Although this engine could be considered a GWR engine, it was built after nationalisation, hence was always a BR engine. Photographed here on a sunny autumn day on the Gloucestershire and Warwickshire Steam Railway.
Description: A black and white image of Great Western Prairie engine 2-6-2, number 5541 built in 1928 at Swindon and preserved on the Dean Forest Railway in Gloucestershire. This engine had undergone a nine year restoration and returned to service on the Dean Forest Railway on the 19th April 2014. Captured here on the first weekend in May in the spring sunshine, looking as good as the day she left the Swindon works over 85 years ago!
