... 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!
