5542 on the West Somerset railway.
24.8.80 looking like a basket case outside Bishops Lydyard station being attended to by three volunteers. 5521 was also there and looking slightly less dilapidated although I was told that 5542 was in better shape.
5542 was withdrawn off Westbury back in 1962 and spent 14 years at Barry. It was later acquired by a group of WSRA members and returned to steam in 2002 as can be seen in the adjacent photo in photostream.
