7803 1963c near Shrewsbury
On an Aberystwyth train.
This is how Mr . Danny Rowlands , the Shedmaster at Aberystwyth Depot , liked his " Manors " to be turned out for passenger duties in particular , cleaned to perfection and with whitened smokebox door fittings , buffers , lamp irons and drawgear being the " Hallmark " of his fleet thanks to his being able to acquire regular stocks of white paint courtesy of the Districct Superintendent !
7803 " Barcote Manor " , a longstanding stalwart of the Cambrian system from the mid ' fifties is working well in this view from late in her working life but was not one of the nine which eventually made it into preservation , sad to say .
