Another couple of locomotives at Stratford-on-Avon:
Pannier tank engine No.9429 is at platform 3 with the 13:47 to Worcester Shrub Hill with the same driver and fireman as in the previous view of No.4109. No.9429 was delivered new to Worcester shed in November 1950 and was based at Worcester until March 1962.
This is pannier tank engine No.3775 taken by an unknown photographer who sent us the photo. The train is in the sidings at Stratford on Avon, as an excursion was due in platform 3 so the train left from platform 1 on this occasion. The driver is Lesley Huckfield and the fireman is Douglas Carver who had just restarted after being discharged from the Army after completing his National Service. He had not then been issued overalls yet the ones he is wearing are the ones issued before he was called up, so this photo must have been taken about March 1958. No.3775 was at Worcester until March 1961.
