From the Geoff Plumb Collection of original slides. Templecombe S&DJR loco shed in happier times! Alongside the shed is LMS 2P 4-4-0 No. 40563, while nearer camera and separated from its tender is 3F 0-6-0 No. 43216. Various coal wagons stand around the yard and on the right is 4F 0-6-0 No. 44417. Just beyond the turntable are two more locos which could both be members of the 7F class 2-8-0s. The line on the embankment on the left is the curve up to the joint station. A sunny evening on Thursday 1st May 1958. Photo by D.E. White. Collect Slide No. 29325.

on August 20, 2018I have seen some great images of the this line in colour, but these have to be the most natural, evocative and beautifully taken photos that I have seen. Superb indeed.
