BR loco No. 32694 on Southampton Docks shed - Jun 1960

An old photograph taken (by H. Tranter?) on a 'shed bash', of British Railways (BR) steam locomotive No. 32694 at Southampton Docks engine/locomotive shed (71I - closed in 1966) in Jun 1960. This engine was the last surviving member of its class, being withdrawn a year later then scrapped.

This is in a rail enthusiast old photo album (owners name not known), the photo reverse is annotated "32694 on Southampton Docks shed - June 19th 1960 - H. Tranter.

A version hand (not AI) coloured by me is here:-

No. 32694 was a 'Black Tanks/E1 class' 0-6-0T engine, built at the Brighton Works and new to the London, Brighton and South Coast Railway (LBSCR) in Mar 1875 carrying No. ???. LBSCR became part of the Southern Railway (SR) after grouping of the existing railway companies into 'the big four' in 1923, this loco being renumbered by SR as 2694. In 1948 the railways were nationalised, SR becoming BR Southern Region, the engine renumbered to 32694 in Feb 1951. It was withdrawn from service in Jul 1961, then scrapped at Eastleigh Works the following month.
