9001 1950s Llanymynech
Oswestry bound train. Peter kerslake says "Built at Swindon in April of 1936 using the frames of condemned "Bulldog" 3412 'John G.Griffiiths' and boiler and cab from withdrawn 'Duke' 3263 'St.Michael' 3201 (later 9001) seen here was the second of its class and spent its working life on the Cambrian housed at Oswestry' .
Originally it carried the nameplates of 'Earl of Dunraven' but these were removed after objections and the plates transferred to newly built 'Castle' 5044 in mid 1937.
9001 soldiered on until early April of 1954" Note the lovely Cambrian Railway signals
