Due to time constraints Jim and I have decided to go straight to Fawley Hill, and not to the pub for lunch.

I have the completed signature / disclaimer form filled out for entry but do I actually need two of them? Hope not as I'm at Jim's and his printer is kaput!

one per car only. i will bring spares!

Several examples were rebuilt with cut-down cabs for working on the Burry Port & Gwendraeth Valley Line, as there were several low bridges on the line that precluded the use of normal height locomotives.

The modified examples were nos. 03119, 03120, 03141, 03142, 03144, 03145, 03151, 03152 and late addition 03382

Their duties included shunting at Burry Port and hauling full coal trains down from the valley's pits. For this latter duty they sometimes worked triple-headed

just a few samples of our day out !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A big thank you to Nick for organising a grand day out.

It was great to put faces/names to some avatars/usernames. And this was a neat change from the usual exhibition meetups. A wonderfully weird and eclectic collection of railwayana, and some really cool ceramic high voltage insulators!

When are we going back(!)?
