    They could be Baldwins 3 and 4 from the Snailbeach, which was just running in 1949. Locos were cut up on site in may 1950 so the right-hand loco may have been the scrapmen getting to work early.

    The first photograph shows two ex War Department Light Railway Baldwins in the shed at Clay Cross on the Ashover Light Railway. The locomotive on the left is "Joan" which by 1949 was the only locomotive left that worked.

    The second photograph shows a standard gauge engine. No idea of identity or location.

    The third photograph shows Lyn on the Lynton & Barnstaple Railway, taken before the Southern Railway repainted it.
