Banbury Oxfordshire 19th June 1966

By 1966 the Great Western engine shed at Banbury was well and truly an LMS and BR Standard domain and there was not a lot of colour amongst the run down locos on shed. Despite being withdrawn at the end of 1965 by the WR and purchased by Patrick Whitehouse, for a few months in 1966 4-6-0 7029 Clun Castle was used by Tyseley on Birmingham to Banbury freights.

Here 7029 in the same run down condition as the other residents (Black 5 44821 in front of 7029 & 9F 92234 on the right.) and with its number crudely painted on the cabside waits to work a train back to Birmingham.

As proof of the LMR takeover, Neil recorded 28 engines on shed that day and apart from the 3 listed above comprised of:
1 X Standard 5
1 X Ivatt Class 2
2 X 8F's
11 X Black 5's
10 X 9F's
