Off for railtour duties passing a particularly grim looking block of flats!

Peter Kerslake says "Two of the three Beattie Well Tanks here in December of 1962 on a chartered Enthusiats' Special three months after they had been replaced from their china clay workings at Wadebridge by three members of the "1366" class from Weymouth.
Dating back to the days of the London and South Western Railway in 1870, and introduced for working within the London and South Eastern suburban services the class remained on those duties for ten years but by the late 1890's just three were still surviving, then numbered 298, 314 and 329 although they later became 3298, 3314 and 3329.
These were the three which were deployed all the way down to Wadebridge in North Cornwall, the first going by sea from Southampton in 1893.
In the 1940's they were again renumbered becoming 30587, 30585 and 30586, survivng in Cornwall for over sixty years, although 30587 was the weakest of the trio and was mainly confined to station pilot duties at Wadebridge or used as a spare engine. whilst her two sisters handled the bulk of the extensive china clay traffic in and around the Wadebridge and Bodmin areas.
Happily, 30587 and 30585 survived into the preservation area although 30586 was not so fortunate."
