Electric versus hydraulic

Long before headlights became the norm, a number of Landore (Swansea) based EE Type 3s were so fitted. Here is diesel electric 6877 standing nose to nose with diesel hydraulic Western Type 4 number D1069 'Western Vanguard' at Landore. 6877 was renumbered to 37177 then converted to heavyweight 37885.

West Country local

North British Type 2 No D6301 stands at Plymouth on 26Jul67. Entering service in February 1959, this loco had the dubious distinction of being the first of the type to be withdrawn, in December 1967, and cut up in August the following year at Cohens of Morriston. Scanned
