'Cider Queen'
Not the best of captures, but I'd gone to this unlikely location to see a steam locomotive. It was of course Bulmers of Hereford who were custodians of one of the first main line steam locos to break BR's 'steam ban', GWR 'King' class 4-6-0, 'King George V'. The main liner was unfortunately un-photographable, but out in the yard was this Hunslet 0-6-0 Diesel shunter. I'm not sure whether this was purely an 'industrial' build, or whether it was one of BR's displaced class 05s, but it was a rather pleasantly proportioned machine. I wonder what became of it when Bulmers switched to road transport totally.
