46521 at Hampton Loade, SVR
Another one from the archives.
The LMS designed, BR built, Ivatt Class 2 2-6-0 46521 in BR lined green seen at Hampton Loade on the Severn Valley Railway.
This was one of the last batch of 25 built at Swindon in 1953 and all allocated to the Western Region.
The first appeared in 1946, with 7 remaining from the total of 128 built.
It's a scary thought that this pic was taken nearly 40 years ago ! The loco has lasted three times as long in preservation as for her original owner.
Now on the GCR at Loughborough, where she was returned to traffic following a major overhaul in January 2012
