4942 on 7.18 Ex-Gloucester - a photo on Flickriver

            4942 Maindy Hall has arrived at Platform 14 with the 7.18 Gloucester - Bristol Temple Meads.  WR motive power was sometimes used even before the closure of St Philip's Marsh and Gloucester Barnwood in May/June 1964.  The photo dates to 1963 and happily 4942 is semi-preserved, being rebuilt as a Saint 2999 by the Great Western Society at Didcot.  The poster advertising the then new experience of 10 pin bowling and the signal gantry are of interest
