    Hi all,

    Im after any pictures anybody has of Austerities in action during WWII for some research for a event later in the year. Also any pictures anyone has or knows of with locos on the Shropshire and Montgomeryshire Railway between 1940-190 would be much appreciated.

    Any information and pictures much appreciated.

    Are you looking for those of a particular type of austerity locomotive or all those covered by the generic term?

    No I do not currently volunteer
    I think "Ministry of Supply 0-6-0ST" is the type you're looking for.
