It is Sunday 29th May 1938 and our intrepid photographer is on shed at Llandudno Junction.
Once again the print quality is a bit variable after nearly 80 years so if you want me to rescan anything please shout.
Also, if you have anything to add to my rather sparse captions (loco allocations, withdrawal dates etc) please feel free to chip in.
"Sirocco" awaits the inevitable.
2P 658 tries to exert a bit of Derby influence. Possibly a glimpse of a Fowler 2-6-2T in the background.
Fowler 2-6-2T 5
Black Fives. "A standard class of 845 individual locomotives" as illustrated here by domed 5137 and an unknown domeless companion.
Webb 5' 6" tank 6682. To me it looks like a Webb Cauliflower tender to the right with a Super D and a Black Five tender behind.
Coal tank 27572 (Push Pull fitted?) with another Coal tank to the left, a Fowler 2-6-2T behind and what may be a Precursor or a Prince of Wales 25374. The tender to the right belongs to Cauliflower 8401.
Coal Tank 27572 and Cauliflower 8401 with the front of another LNWR 4-4-0 behind.
An indentified Cauliflower. 8401 in the background. A youthful admirer tries to get a closer look at Super D 9032. I think that might be 2P 658 behind the Cauliflower.
Super D 9032 poses next to a well built (but rarely modelled) coal stack.
9032 from the top of the unidentified Cauliflower's tender. Our youthful admirer is off to seek a new vantage point. The obligatory whitewashed gas lamp and well stacked mountain of coal complete the picture.
There are some more undated North Wales views to come in due course.
