Classic 3/4 view, sun and steam but you can't really beat it. Only 2 years before being cut up in Newport Docks for scrap.

In the 1970s I had a family holiday to Ilfracombe as visited the derelict stations along the line. One of my top 10 railways wishes would have been to travel from Barnstaple to Ilfracombe and back behind an unrebuilt Bullied Pacific. This includes the infamous gradient climb out of Ilfracombe.

On a cold and wet February evening, Bulleid Southern Railway 'Battle of Britain' Class Light Pacific 34066 SPITFIRE on shed at Tunbridge Wells West on the Spa Valley heritage railway.
It isn't really SPITFIRE of course; it's actually 34072 257 SQUADRON in disguise!

34072 '257 Squadron' has been redressed to represent long lost classmate 34066 'Spitfire'.
34066 hauled the RCTS/LCGB "Sussex Downsman" railtour on the 22-3-1964. Southern Locomotives Ltd very kindly agreed to the temporary change to help recreate the event 60 years on. Image from Leamlands, near Groombridge. Photo manipulated with three additional coaches added to train.

Built at Brighton, entering service numbered 21C166 September 1947. Renumbered 34066 February 1949 and withdrawn September 1966. Broken up by Buttiieg, Newport.

A couple of Dad's slides that got missed 10 or so years ago. Both of Light Pacific 34066 Spitfire taken on the 29th of August 1964.
The loco is seen here on the still existing Meldon Viaduct at the head of the 11.15 from Waterloo to Bude and Padstow.
New in September 1947 as 21C166 the loco was withdrawn in September 1966 and cut up at Buttigieg's in Newport in January 1967.
En Alsace, comme ailleurs à la Renaissance, les branches professionnelles étaient souvent rassemblées en tribus ou corporations pour permettre d'avoir plus de poids contre les pouvoirs juridiques et exécutifs.
Les laboureurs de Colmar ont reconstruit leur poêle (siège social / lieu de rassemblement et de réunion grosso modo) en 1626 (comme indiqué). Outre un superbe bâtiment composé de grés et de belles fenêtres à meneaux. C'est clairement l'encadrement de porte qui attire tous les regards.
Ce joyaux de la renaissance est composés de nombreux détails finement sculpté donc notamment des colonnes corinthiennes et végétales surmontant des têtes de lions avec en son sein une arc de plein cintre composé de pierre de refends. Elle est également composé d'une très belle frise où une petite phrase en alsacien ("Eh ver acht als gemarcht" traduisible par "La critique est aisée, l'art est difficile") se cache. Et pour finir son fronton, et quel fronton, composé d'un nombre impression de volutes et de petits éléments de la renaissance, il place dans sa cartouche, l'emblème des laboureurs (panier de céréales et d'outils).

Firstly we are at Halwill Junction and the loco is on the 08.10 service to Wadebridge. New in September 1947 as 21C166 the loco was withdrawn in September 1966 and cut up at Buttigieg's in Newport in January 1967.
In 2024 34072 was renumbered as 34066 at the Spa Valley Railway for a weekend.

Watched by the driver 34066 'Spitfire' receives some attention at a stop in Herne Hill. The proceedings are observed by a schoolboy, this is 1959 and he looks just as boys did on their way home from school, socks held up (nearly) by a ring of elastic, clean shoes, shorts, the school cap (don't get caught without it!) and the satchel, weighed down with homework. The lad is watched by his similarly dressed friend who can see what is going on from his perch by the building.
34066 was built at Brighton Works, it entered traffic in September 1947. The locomotive was withdrawn in September 1966 and scrapped in January 1967. at the time of Peter's photograph it was a 73A Stewarts Lane engine. The name 'Spitfire' was also carried by Collett Castle class 5071, renamed in 1940 from Clifford Castle.
*If I had taken this I would present it with the left hand of the frame with the tender next to the cab to make the most of the 3 figures. Because I'm only the joint custodian of Peter's collection I do not really have the right to change the picture from how Peter left it, also on a more practical front this is a very grainy 35mm negative (Agfa Pan) it would not stand too much enlargement

Bullied Battle of Britain 34066 'Spitfire' lives up to its name as is hurtles through West Dulwich with an express service. The train may well have been a boat train.

Bullied Battle of Britain Class 4-6-2 No. 34066 Spitfire at the head of a line of locomotives at Eastleigh on 3rd June 1966. Behind 34066 are 34059 Sir Archibald Sinclair, 80016 and 34082 615 Squadron. I have uploaded this despite having somehow contrived to cut off part of 34066. The shot is otherwise okay and I didn't want it to go to waste.

34072 Leaving Corfe Castle station to Norden, Swanage steam railway
Below are the names and numbers of the steam locomotives that comprised the Bulleid light pacifics, the West Country and Battle of Britain classes of locomotives that ran on the British Southern Railway network. They represented a publicity success for the Southern Railway, with the West Country class highlighting the names of places served by the Southern Railway, while the Battle of Britain locomotives constituted a roving memorial to the fighter pilots who fought during the Battle of Britain, and the actions of RAF Fighter Command as a whole. No. 34066 Spitfire and No. 34086 219 Squadron were at one point in time candidates for preservation, but No. 34023 Blackmoor Vale was chosen instead due to it being in better condition than No. 34066 and No. 34086.[1][2]
Table of locomotive details
Key to notes:
BoB/NA – Battle of Britain locomotive that carried no coat of arms
C – Complete
GOE – carried Giesl oblong ejector, fitted 1962 (34064); mid-1980s (34092)
S – ex-Scrapyard, and awaiting future restoration
WC/NA – West Country locomotive that carried no coat of arms
34049 stands on its home shed of Salisbury in July 1960 where it was allocated for most of its 17-year service. It had brief allocations to Nine Elms (2/'50-4/'51) and Exmouth Junction (4/'51-5/'51).
Along with 34035 it was one of two West Countrys to have experimental front ends in attempts to improve smoke lifting. There were no protruding smoke deflectors, the front edges of the casing being swept up flush with a re-shaped cowl.
In March 1960 34049 reverted to protruding deflectors but kept the re-shaped cowl, as here.
34049 was unique among Battle of Britains in having a red background to its plaque which used Anti-aircraft Command's regimental badge rather than an RAF-related badge or crest. At least one other (34066) did, however, have the background to its nameplate painted red after an overhaul. Wrongly, in my opinion!
34066 Spitfire has backed onto the nine coach RCTS/LCGB Sussex Downsman Rail Tour on 22 March 1964, one of four locomotives used. It will take the train to Pevensey and also work from Brighton to Victoria later in the day.
