6863 1963 Merthyr Tydfil

6863 1963 Merthyr Tydfil

The light was the wrong side for the photo but as Stuart Davies says " Yes it is Merthyr looking towards Cardiff. Merthyr Station Signalbox can be seen centre right. The running lines are located between this and the water tank. The station is a quarter mile to the right. At this time Dolhywel Grange was allocated to Cardiff East Dock from where she was condemned on 28th November 1964. Tender engines were not regulars at Merthyr and although there was a turntable, at 55 feet it would be a tight fit with extension plates to be able to accommodate 6863. "
