Bulleid Merchant Navy class

Hi Neil,

A bit of clarification on two pictures
21C11 18/41 is between St Denys and Mount Pleasant LC Horseshoe Road bridge at St Denys is visible in the background
21C15 26/41 is Mount Pleasant LC down home signals, with distant signals for Northam Jn and ringed subsidiary arms at a lower level for the Northam Yard reception lines.

Overall a lovely selection of photos, especially the colour one at Basingstoke in 1947.

Cheers, Neil
