The steam train with its magical sound will never lose its fascinating! On one of these trains can be found Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson on the way to tackle a singular two-pipe mystery, while some distance up the track are Will Hay, Moore Marriott and Graham Moffat trying to work out when the next train is due at Buggleskelly!

Only one Notty steam engine survives as far as I know. One of several tank engines sold to Walkinden colliery. Everything else scrapped as being non standard in a vast fleet of LNW and Midland engines. A great pity!

I think these shots are late October/November1965. The state of the ex GWR loco suggests likewise. This makes this video more remarkable as these are probably some of the last moving shots of ex GWR tender engine on ordinary duties on the Midland. Another clue is the lighting. Later in the year daylight is getting harder and film at that time did not respond well in low light, even though it looks like a good day. Ive tried to look at the state of the Trees and at 1.29 the tree is bare, even 1.43 suggesting autumn. The sun appears low and behind us as we travel Great Western steam was summarily withdrawn on 31 December 1965. After that date, any ex-GWR locos at work on the erstwhile Western Region had been transferred to the Midland Region following boundry changes a year or so beforehand. On 7th November 1965, there were only c145 ex GWR locos,of the tender engines, there was only 1 Castle, a few Halls, a number of Granges and Manors. By 13 August 1966 there were only 17 Panniers left on the LMR. To me, that image looks like a Grange. LMR, ex GWR Grange locos in 1965 were from 2A Tysley, 2B, Oxley and 2D Banbury. They were 2A 6853, 6855, 6861, 6879. 2B 6831, 6833, 6871 2D 6930,6951, 6952 All the remaining LMR Manors were at 6D Shrewsbury before withdrawal on the Cambrian line. Looking at withdrawal dates no exGWR tender loco was officially operating after 31/12/1965. I remember seeing some of the last movements at Oxford. By the end of 1966 the 43000 4mt's were remakably a class of loco still largely intact less than 20 years old. Here are some shots Oxley's Grange's in 1965 www.flickr.com/photos/35891004@N05/51182153093/in/photolist-2kYMUXp-edRfFz-dSumPx-2jY3gw9-bB7WkU-2mb5NeP-2oKXQ2g-2oarAq7-atQf1F-P6awwk-2nFUSKs-2msx2UW-2h8hK7d-2p79Rja-7msFZT-2hhfhse-wCrJSj-2hpwFd2-23bKYn8-2fVAsTZ-2bzjZsc-NoVjk2-dwtRgb-dHv8iL-2kmuWEk-2mc5Ka5-HafeSb-qC7Sri-tcrEa6-cg34pm-7DdpYk-dMjc1v-msXkhL-9Ush9k-qKraVT-qXecDa-FJ5qYt-aEDHU4-CYQ5LM-DFvJTy-2iQs3BQ-2kwaVzV-cw46pG-qhu8ua-26m9wBr-ga68nA-bx2nqw-2knPahN-CRspef-2iMTpWN www.flickr.com/photos/71592768@N08/20103118902/in/photolist-2nFUSKs-2msx2UW-2h8hK7d-2p79Rja-7msFZT-2hhfhse-wCrJSj-2hpwFd2-23bKYn8-2fVAsTZ-2bzjZsc-NoVjk2-dwtRgb-dHv8iL-2kmuWEk-2mc5Ka5-HafeSb-qC7Sri-tcrEa6-cg34pm-7DdpYk-dMjc1v-msXkhL-9Ush9k-qKraVT-qXecDa-FJ5qYt-aEDHU4-CYQ5LM-DFvJTy-2iQs3BQ-2kwaVzV-cw46pG-qhu8ua-26m9wBr-ga68nA-bx2nqw-2knPahN-CRspef-2iMTpWN-dP8TT2-dPqFiC-dPk3c6-dPqF9Y-dPqFcN-dPqFfY-2n3UF1q-j5WEJa-7eAp2Z-7eAp36 www.flickr.com/photos/71592768@N08/30451776831/in/photolist-2nFUSKs-2msx2UW-2h8hK7d-2p79Rja-7msFZT-2hhfhse-wCrJSj-2hpwFd2-23bKYn8-2fVAsTZ-2bzjZsc-NoVjk2-dwtRgb-dHv8iL-2kmuWEk-2mc5Ka5-HafeSb-qC7Sri-tcrEa6-cg34pm-7DdpYk-dMjc1v-msXkhL-9Ush9k-qKraVT-qXecDa-FJ5qYt-aEDHU4-CYQ5LM-DFvJTy-2iQs3BQ-2kwaVzV-cw46pG-qhu8ua-26m9wBr-ga68nA-bx2nqw-2knPahN-CRspef-2iMTpWN-dP8TT2-dPqFiC-dPk3c6-dPqF9Y-dPqFcN-dPqFfY-2n3UF1q-j5WEJa-7eAp2Z-7eAp36
