Photos help please; LSWR T3 4-4-0 at Locomotion, Shildon

[Steph Dale]

Guys,

I wonder if I could trouble someone to take some pictures around the LSWR T3 4-4-0 no.563, please?
I'd particularly value some shots around the bogie and cab (both inside and out) - especially the screw reverse and bridle.

I've found myself far too embroiled in a set of GAs in the back of a Bradley book and got myself confused again.

Many thanks to anyone who can help,

Cheers,

Steph

Hi Steph,

If no one else can help sooner I will be calling in, in about 2 weeks time.

Is this of use? - I happened to be in when they had the smokebox door open at one point.

Rob,
I'd very much appreciate it, yes please.
That's an interesting photo, although I've no plans to model my locos with their smokebox doors open!
Cheers,
Steph

Hi Steph,

I'm not promising but I may have convinced Mrs Roffe that Shildon will be a good place to stop on our way back from Alnwick with the kids for the day. If we do go I'll get some photos and between Rob and I we should have it covered,

Cheers Mick

Mick,
That'd be grand, thank you!

Steph,

Bad news I'm afraid, I can't find the T3 any where at Shildon and an employee confirms it has left the site! To where he does not know? That said there are a number of things here that were at York, Winston Churchill, the prototype Deltic etc so it may be back there so not all is lost?

Thanks Mick,
Oh well, at least we know now!
As you say, hopefully she's back at York.
