Steam For Scrap on the Swindon Dump

            GW Grange 6824 Ashley Grange is stabled on the scrap line at Swindon in the company of GW 0-6-2 Tank 6603 on 26 April 1964.  Allocated to sheds in the South West for most of its nationalised life, 6824 moved to Didcot (81E) in October 1962 and Oxford (81F) a year later, being withdrawn in April 1964.  Still on the Dump in December 1964, 6824 was probably cut up at Swindon in early 1965.  6603 was withdrawn in March 1963 after a lifetime working in South Wales.
