Description Bulleid pacific No. 34007 rests atΒ Minehead on March 29, 2014. It looks as if she is running with a borrowed tender as it is a different shade of green from the locomotive. This is the cut-down style of tender as running in British Railways days and the engine is carrying the Waterloo to Exeter and Plymouth disc code.

Yes and they planned to rebuild all of them but dieselisation cut short the programme. Thanks for your comments

Love the slightly different shade of paint on the tender Andy!!
Lovely locos. Come to see them as great machines since my experience on Wells.
