Last Months of BR Steam 1968 4

            Standard 5 73131, with Caprotti Valve Gear, is stored withdrawn at the side of Patricroft Shed (9H) on 4 April 1968.  The loco had been allocated to the shed, along with many other members of the class, from September 1958 until withdrawal in January 1968.  The rods have been tied to the running plate and the loco will soon make its final journey to Newport and the yard of John Cashmore.
