Hopefully not to outrageous but the Imperial Smelting 060 at Bitton and the two Avonmouth dock steam locomotives feature in my next book -https://www.mortonsbooks.co.uk/product/ ... WHSTRREw5o

There was definitely smoke coming from the chimney and it was moving in the 82A shed tracks, presumably for specific stabling.
Sorry, but I'm not sure if it made it's own way there or was towed as far as the depot and then parked itself.


I have some photos of the ISC steam loco on the main line ...

According to the Industrial Rly Society handbook there was no 060 saddle tank at Stapleton Rd gasworks.All steam locos at the site were 040 configuration. The last steam loco left May 1968; the diminutive Peckett that was on the Gwili Railway (as Merlin).

Hello. I only saw a tiny amount of working steam but IÔÇÖve annotated some comments/Info to help you.

Bristol Industrial Museum working steam (on coal trains) was for 3 weeks only in 1981 (Oct/Nov) if I remember correctly.

The above is all I saw in account of being born in 1967!
