Old and new at Salisbury
Drummond 4-4-0 T9 30301 and Riddles BR Standard class 5 73118 run into Salisbury on 17th August 1957, presumably having just come off shed.
One of a class of 172 which were built in batches at Derby and Doncaster, 73118 was built in Doncaster works in 1955.
30301 was one of Drummond's outstandingly successful T9 class for the LSWR and was built in December 1900. Urie and Maunsell made modifications, Urie extending the smokebox and adding the stovepipe chimney.
Built with an 8-wheel double-bogie inside-bearing 'water cart' tender, 30301 received this 6-wheel tender when transferred to the eastern section of the Southern sometime between 1925 and 1928 for work on the Kent Coast expresses.
After nearly 60 years of service 30301 was withdrawn in 1959.
