Yeovil Somerset 14th August 1963

Great Western Small Prairie 2-6-2T 4593 takes water on shed at 72C Yeovil Town shed. When at Truro this engine was due to be withdrawn in March 1960 as part of the WR 1959 programme but 4562 took it's place. It's uncertain why the smokebox number plate is red-backed and the hinges are painted white but it only arrived at Yeovil during August 1963 so this may have been done at its previous depot Taunton.
