It had entered service in 1939, and was withdrawn in September 1965, and scrapped in October. Only one member of the class has been preserved..
Darlington shed closed to steam in spring 1966, and today (2024) the site is open land, close to 'Teesside University, Darlington'...

Whitewashed walls of an ancient Orthodox church in Tretyakov's gallery quad were an ideal background for magnificent rowan trees. Rough and solid walls shaded curlicue gloss of leaves, red berry drops for the last touch.
So I built another T.U.R.D. Bot. This design turned out to be a remarkably fun build, and the core is only 30 pieces. Now I just have to come up with a name for this new Frame.
Stats: 2Rd+d8/1Y/2W.

Tiny, whitewashed, and with a lop sided bellcote, St Mary's is charm itself. Diarist and clergyman Francis Kilvert, who lived a few miles away, described it as 'squatting like a stout grey owl among its seven great black yews'.
The setting is wonderful, and wild: on the banks of the infant Honddu river, with the Black Mountains to the west and the great ridge carrying Offa's Dyke (and the Wales/England border) immediately to the east. To the north is Gospel Pass, the road over the mountains to Hay on Wye.
In winter this is often unpassable because of snow, and even in summer after heavy rain the road can be slippery and difficult.
The church was built in 1762, as a chapel of ease for the church at nearby Lanigon. Inside it is a simple, very small chamber, with a stone floor, wooden seating, minute gallery, pulpit and altar.
We look for the better angels of our nature
we look in vain
speak truth
cost as it may
every seeking a narrower way
ever weak
however strong
they are most beautiful before they're gone

Dundullimal homestead.
Not many buildings on the western plains date from before the mid 1850s but Dubbo has an amazing slab house built in the early 1840s of yellow box, ironbark and river red gum slabs. It is believed to be the oldest slab house in NSW and is now owned by the National Trust and operated as a museum of squatting life in the 1840s. The complex of buildings include the homestead, a timber church, sandstone stables built in later decades, and outbuildings. The not grand homestead is in almost original condition and is said to embody the innovation and ingenuity of the early Australian way of life. When built Dundullimal was a sheep station of 26,000 acres along the Macquarie River. The outbuildings include a blacksmith, coach room, sunken cool room, caretaker’s cottage, windmill, wells etc. Inside the homestead it was well equipped and the sitting room had imported wall paper (now reproduced), imported furniture (now all antiques) and style. The 1872 timber church was moved to Dundullimal in 2013. The original homestead was just a couple of rooms which were added to with two main wings. It has French windows and a north facing veranda. Much of the interior joinery is red cedar. Ceilings are of whitewashed cypress pine. Dundullimal was established after the 1836 government decree allowing squatting by license in these western districts. Earliest reference to it is in 1838 with the owners Charles and Dalmahoy Campbell. The run’s name means “thunderstorm”. Like many large squatting runs by 1839 it five assigned male convicts to work on the property and one female assigned convict for house duties. John Maughan took over the property in 1842. He extended the house especially after his wife arrived there in 1852. By 1855 Maughan owned considerable areas of land freehold. He sold Dundullimal in 1858. A few acres of the original property was finally granted to the National Trust from a deceased estate in 1985.
Whitewashed brick building in neo-classical style, dating mainly from the 19 th century.
The castle was owned by numerous barons. The front of the castle was build around 1820.
Over time, the castle has undergone numerous restorations and transformations.
Today is a set of whimsical architecture, which gives it an original and even a little disturbing in foggy weather stamp ...
It is possible that the castle was built on the site of an ancient Roman villa.

And when?
When did I think it was okay to love every shade of skin as long as it didn't resemble mine?
When?
When did I think everything I was and will be is wrapped up in this?
When did I start believing that everything I am is what they said I will be?
When did I start wishing I was anything but....

Freshly whitewashed curbs do little to mask deficient or inexistent pedestrian sidewalks in the vicinity of Brasília's Touring Bus Station.
The tropical climate plays havoc with preservation efforts. Can't get over how vibrant green it is, really healthy! As seen at Mount Fortress, Macau
