Great Western Railway pannier tank 0-6-0PT 7714 with Chris at the controls sets off from Rothley on the 16.45 ex-Loughborough. I'm not sure what the car on the right is but it's a real classic.

he morning sun catches GWR pannier tank 0-6-0PT 7714 and Ivatt 4MT 2-6-0 43106 as they back off Bridgnorth shed shrouded by steam. They would then double-head the 08.00 local train to Kidderminster, the first train of the day.

We made a brief visit to Keighley over the weekend of the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway's March Gala to catch a glimpse of the two visitors: rebuilt Scot 4-6-0 46100 Royal Scot and GWR pannier 0-6-0PT 7714. Here 7714 is drawing forward its empty stock into the headshunt at Keighley out of the way of the arriving 13.35 from Oxenhope double-headed by 41241 and 78022. It is carrying BR shed code 6J which was Croes Newydd although 7714 was allocated to (& withdrawn from) the shed in 1959 when it was still in the Western Region as 89B. The engine was sold to the National Coal Board and worked out of a colliery near Rhymney in South Wales before purchase for preservation in 1973. It has been based at the SVR for many years.
