Hi Neil,

A quick correction - 193/213 1403 is at Weymouth. with the Victorian boarding houses just beyond the end of the platforms.
The weird canopy shape is the remains of the overall roof which was removed in the late 1940's / early 1950's once the Southern had taken control of Weymouth.

Cheers, Neil

 

Thanks Neil

I have added 15 new photos of Collett's Class 3100 rebuild of Churchward's class 3150
This class of large prairie was created in 1938 when Collett rebuilt some of Churchward's 3150 Class engines for use as bankers, particularly from Severn Tunnel Junction shed. These engines used the same standard class 4 boiler, but with pressure increased to 225 psi (1,550 kPa) and smaller 5 feet 3 inches (1.600 m) driving wheels and a one-half inch (13 mm) increase in cylinder diameter. This raised their tractive effort to 31,170 pounds-force (138,700 N). Less noticeable was a 2 in (50.8 mm) reduction in pony truck wheel diameter to 3 ft 0 in (914 mm). Only five engines were ever modified, Nos. 3173, 3156, 3181, 3155 and 3179 which were rebuilt as 3100 to 3104 respectively. All members of the class were scrapped.
Including this photo inside Swindon stock shed of withdrawn 3100,3101 with soon to be preserved Dean Goods 2516 & Star 4003 Lode Star Swindon Stock shed 2-11-58
