Kingsbridge Station, with a '4575' 2-6-2T
View eastward, towards the buffer-stops: ex-GW terminus of the branch from Brent, closed 16/9/63. The locomotive, No. 5558 (built 11/28, withdrawn 10/60) is in the process of running round the branch train standing at the platform and is about to retrieve a spare coach from the siding adjacent to the carriage shed and add it to the front of the train. Standing in front of the single track corrugated iron clad carriage shed stands a Stanier brake vehicle, possibly a composite but more likely a Brake Third - it will be used for a through coach. A group of scouts are waiting on the platform, no doubt returning home from their 'manouveres'. There are fish trucks, a container, another spare all 3rd coach and a plate wagon in the bay platform and all is well in the branch line world.
