5963 1964-08-16 Swindon Works
This was taken on the occasion of the Warwickshire Railway Society’s Swindon & Eastleigh Railtour – 1964-08-16 and came unidentified. Recorded as in the stock shed scrapping area that day were Halls 4916/9 5934/55/63 and 6900 (still in service) plus some modified Halls. Note and D864 getting in on the action which fits with the date. It has coupling rod knuckle joint to the rear of the center wheel crankpin which makes it one of 5934/55/63, but 5955 was outside the running shed in service and 5934 was photographed somewhere else which makes it 5963. The connecting rod has been cut with a 'Gas Axe'
