George Jennings South Western Potteries owned two steam locomotives - both built by Peckett & Sons Ltd, Bristol.
The later version was a W4 class built in 1902, works number 920 - it worked all its life on the Parkstone Pottery branch apart from the occasional trip to St. Mary's in Southampton for maintenance. 140 locomotives were built by Peckett's to class W4 between 1885 and 1906 and it represents a classic late Victorian four-coupled medium range industrial saddletank.
Although, no other locomotive was officially used on the line, the Bournemouth B4 (30102) would occasionally help whilst the Peckett often assisted the British Railway loco to shunt the very awkward yard at Parkstone. The B4 would bring empty vans and full coal wagons to Parkstone goods yard, the Peckett would bring vans full of potteryware and empty coal wagons up from the works to exchange. Often the Peckett W4 would stray onto BR metals due to the awkward track layout of the sidings.
'George Jennings' was always maintained in immaculate order, a light green with highly polished brass dome. Unfortunately the 1902 George Jennings has not survived. It was bought when the pottery closed in 1962, by a local small holder, with the intention to run on a short length of track. The winter of 1963 proved fatal for both the loco and the small holder, the boiler was not drained and froze, the small holder died. His window arranged for the loco to be taken away by the local scrap dealer, Charles Trent, with the instruction to cut it into pieces that would fit through a letter box. The works plate now resides in Poole Museum.
After trials with various Bus bodies on a 4 wheeled chassis the pre-production run was a number of 20 leyland Bus bodies which lacked every esthetic known to man.
Narrow, being bus bodied width and a safety screen version of the front which leant itself to the 142's eventually, they were not a design marvel. Also a set of jumpers which appeared to be stuck on did not help!
141013 is seen at Doncaster with a train to Leeds. The livery was a varient of that carried by the local buses in West Yorkshire.
The humble DMU, much malaigned when I was a kid with names such as Bog Units, Boggo's and even Fart Carts due to the exhaust rasp! gained a following due to their longevity lasting well into the sprinter era.
Earlier casualties were the Class 127 who lost their work in the 80's due to the Bed-Pan electrification.
Not long before the switchover, which was delayed due to a dispute, Class 127 51618/59608/59631 and 51591 4 car arrives into Bedford from the sidings before heading to St Pancras. 21st June 1983.
The Lead vehicle is now preserved at the Llangollen Railway.

I catalogued this as a "class 302 coach on display". Was it a refurbished coach being shown to the BR Board (the HQ was nearby)? Seems it was, see below. The number doesn't make much sense! March 1980.
