34051 'Winston Churchill' on Eastleigh shed - April 1964

Both 34051 and 34073 are now preserved Bulleid Light Pacific locos, of which 20 have been preserved. Coincidently, 34051 & 34073 are the only two surviving members not to have steamed in the preservation era.

In September 1965 34051 was withdrawn by BR and was immediately taken into preservation as part of the national collection.

34073 '249 Squadron' was withdrawn by BR in June 1964 and then spent several months stored at Eastleigh before being purchased as scrap metal by Dai Woodham and transferred to his scrapyard at Barry, where it arrived in April 1965.
34073 spent over 23 years rotting at the scrapyard before being rescued in 1988. No restoration of the loco commenced by 2006 when the loco was purchased by Ian Riley and taken to Carnforth where the loco remains, although many parts from the loco have been cannibalised.
