GWR loco No. 3824 @ Swindon Works c1961

            An old amateur photograph (just 2" x 2") of Great Western Railway (GWR) steam locomotive No. 3824 at Swindon Works. Others of this group of photographs date to c1961, but I cannot find a record of this engine being there around this time.

The photo is annotated with "3824 Swindon Wks", unfortunately it has is no date or photographer name.

No. 3824 was a G. Churchward designed '2800 class' 2-8-0 engine, built at the Swindon Works and new to GWR in Sep 1940. The locomotive was withdrawn from service in Jun 1964 then scrapped in February of the following year.

If there are any errors in the above description please let me know. Thanks.

📷  Any photograph I post on Flickr is an original in my possession, nothing is ever copied/downloaded from another location.  📷
