Taken in Woodham's scrapyard on Barry island over 15 yrs after it arrived. Fortunately 7903 was rescued 18 months later and fully restored. 92134, the 9F loco on the left actually departed the scrapyard several months before Foremarke Hall, but has yet to be fully restored. I last saw 92134 when it was stored on the North Yorks Moors Railway in 1981 but it was only there for a few months before moving to Essex where it remained until March of this year when it was taken by road to the East Lancashire Railway to complete its restoration.

... with a commemorative rail-tour on 5th March 1966, to mark the end of the much loved Somerset & Dorset Joint Railway, which closed forever two days later. 34006 covered more distance than any other member of the class, with 1,099,338 recorded miles. Also it was unique in that it was one of three in the class which had extended smoke deflectors, but the only one to retain them to the end. This a scan from the original Kodachrome slide taken by a Mr J.E. Bell, which is now in my possession. HFF on this sunny day! Explored!
