50028 Bristol TM 14th March 1981
50028 "Tiger" waits at Bristol Tempe Meads after arriving from Paddington on Saturday 14th March 1981. It would shortly head off to Maligo Vale carriage sidings south of the city where it would either dump the stock or run round.
I scanned this slide as it showed the platform end scene at the time. On a Saturday there could be 20-30 spotters waiting for the next unusual loco to turn up. On the ground on the right is the water pipe feed for the boiler fitted loco's and still visible today if you know where to look.
Tiger was scrapped at Old Oak Common TMD in July 1991.
