GWR 44XX 2-6-2T No 4404 from Tondu shed at Pyle with the branch train to Porthcawl in 1951. The members of the class based here often worked these trains which seemed a bit of a waste of usage for the specialised little locos but the curves were quite extreme. It is lettered British Railways in full using GWR style transfers.
