    One intersting point with these, almost all pictures you see on shed show the bunkers full, but it is never seen in preservation which I think is a shame. Hopefully when we get 7202 finished it will happen, a full load of 6 tons of coal should keep it going for a while!

    For 5239, the first and third, and I assume the second, are on the Paignton and Dartmouth Railway. First is at Churston passing under the A3022, the third is outside Kingswear Station with Dartmouth in the background.

    I think the 2nd one of 5239 is coming out of Paignton towards Goodrington in the section before the over bridge at Goodrington Station - the background looks like part of Goodrington carriage sidings.
