30926 Repton at Eastleigh

            On 21st April 1965 Schools class number 30926 "Repton" was in store at Eastleigh pending restoration despatch to the USA and then on to Canada for presrvation. Just visible at left is the bunker of M7 class 30053 and to the rear the chimney of a 9F 2-10-0 awaiting works. 

The occasion was an Ian Allan tour from Paddington to Swindon (which was devoid of all steam except for two works shunters), then down to Eastleigh works and shed before returning to Waterloo. The tour was hauled throughout by 35028 "Clan Line". Of the 81 steam locomotives at Eastleigh, 36 were on their home shed, 27 were visitors and 18 were withdrawn and awaiting scrapping (or in the case of 30053 and 30926 - preservation).

30926 was repatriated in 1989 and is in service on the North Yorkshire Steam Railway.

This image is a reworking of a picture first posted about ten years ago.
