Description

LMS 2P class No. 40563 (with 82G shedplate) at Glastonbury in November 1961, heading an up local passenger service with two carriages and a utility van.

The photographer stated that 40563 had been taken from the scrap road at Templecombe to replace a failed GWR Collett class loco [officially withdrawn in May ’62]. Note carriage W5199W to the left of the loco and the tablet catcher on the tender.
