WAITING.... IN ANTICIPATION

GWR 4-6-0 5952 Cogan Hall and LMS 2-8-0 48624 wait for better times at Dai Woodham's Scrapyard at Barry in May 1982

 

5952 was built in December 1935 and withdrawn in June 1964. Owned by the Betton Grange Society and I believe at the Llangollen Railway and stored without a tender. Some other minor parts used on the 'new build' 6880 Betton Grange.

Restoration to commence following the completion of 6880!!?

 

48624 buit at Ashford Works in Dec 1943 withdrawn in July 1965. Resides at the Great Central Railway currently stored awaiting overhaul. The only surviving Southern-built example. Restored to working order in 2009 by Peak Rail in fictional LMS Crimson Lake livery as 8624, now based at the Great Central Railway as British Railways 48624 in black. Boiler certificate expired in July 2019.
