4150 1957 Totnes
Ex-Great Western Railway Collett '5101' class 2-6-2 Tank No. 4150 (pilot). Built at Swindon in June 1947 and withdrawn in June 1965. Ex-Great Western Railway Collett 'Hall' class 4-6-0 No. 5916 'Trinity Hall' (train). Built at Swindon in July 1931 and withdrawn in July 1962. The low viewpoint at Totnes chosen by Ken Widd, emphasises the somewhat awkward view for 4150's crew when running bunker first past the Cow & Gate factory in 1957. First marketed in 1908, Cow & Gate infant milk products are still in production today. In 2014, the disused plant was sold for just - a pound!
