Sunlight & Smoke - St Philips Marsh (82B)

            On Sunday 17 May 1964 six locos are stabled around one of St Philips Marsh's two turntables, one month before the shed closed and remaining locos transferred to Bristol Barrow Road (82E). Black Five 45298, with self-weighing tender, had arrived on a relief the previous day on the North to West route via Shrewsbury, its home shed.  Midland locos that arrived on this route would still be serviced at the Marsh.  The loco would soon be transferred away, eventually withdrawn from Crewe (5B) in September 1967 and scrapped at Cohens Kettering.  5990 Dorfield Hall was allocated to Banbury (2D) at the time and would be withdrawn from there in January 1965.  7019 Fowey Castle had arrived on 1X31, a relief from Wolverhampton to the West Country the day before.  Allocated to Bath Road Shed (82A) for most of the 1950's, the loco moved to Stafford Road (84A) and then Oxley (2B) in 1963, withdrawn from there in February 1965 and scrapped at Cashmores Great Bridge.  6984 Owsden Hall was the lucky one of the four, allocated to Barrow Road (82E) in April 1965 and withdrawn in early December 1965.  Barry and preservation awaited.
