In rebuilt form (#3) - my favorite BR steam locos!

Muscular look to these Pacifics in both versions. Thanks for this post.

Thank you, Gordon. "Popular demand" has been suitably satisfied....at least for this one person. Three splendid images, indeed. And the hits from Mr. Brown's camera keep on coming...!

In unrebuilt form, 35020 was notorious for an incident on April 24, 1953, when the driving axle fractured while accelerating on a descending grade. This resulted in a temporary withdrawal of the entire class for inspections of the driving axles.  Three years later, 35020 would become the second of the rebuilt Merchants.

Thank you. I'm enjoying all these uploads. chris uk.

Looks like milk tanks on that first train, excellent set!

I was on an excursion with the City of Wells in the spring of 1983. Wonderful trip, engine, train and crew.
