Nice pics: Westerns, Warships etc. c.1968

Post by AndyK »

Thanks to my other identity as an enthusiast for Scottish railways, I've come across a splendid Fotopic site called the Diesel Image Gallery http://diesel-image-gallery.fotopic.net/ . It's nearly all Scottish but hidden away in a section named Days of Future Passed http://diesel-image-gallery.fotopic.net/c1179158.html there is a sprinkling of Western Region images from around 1968.

I am confident that this one in particular will be appreciated here http://diesel-image-gallery.fotopic.net/p38642041.html

If only that loco had been saved for preservation. She was a superb runner!

Not much use for anything, but once again, a damned shame one was never preserved (poor old exWorks D6319 - a true crime cutting that one up).
