6853 1964-08-16 Swindon Works

On the occasion of the Warwickshire Railway Society’s Swindon & Eastleigh Railtour – 1964-08-16.

Peter Kerslake says "Having been through Works, 6853 "Morehampton Grange" is probably ready now for a spell on local duties to ensure that everything is in order prior to her being returned to her home shed.
No shed plate is apparent in this view but my old shed book shows her to be allocated to 84E, Tyseley at this period in time.
This was a favourite place for locomotives "Running In" to be held, just by the turntable at the entrance to the Works, and there was invariably one there, resplendent in new colours."
