    I have added a small collection of photos of GWR Granges taken in the early 1960’s, including this photo taken April 1965 by Bill Wright minus all name & numberplates looking extremely rusty, but the loco was still in service!!!

    I think the Granges were the only GW class to run with all the variations of the GW standard tenders. Including 6844 which I think was the only one to have a Hawksworth tender.
