    The 1361 Class saddle tanks were not a South Wales class; they were a development of a Cornwall Minerals Railway loco and were built for shunting Millbay Docks in Plymouth

    The list of South Wales Tank engines in this thread is interesting but the images appear to be unobtainable when I click on the links. Anyone else experience difficulty in sourcing the images, or does any body know why they are not available.? Or am I missing something? Help appreciated!

    The reason is that, despite the domain name, these were part of Neil';s extensive collection of photographs hosted on the fotopic.net servers. Fotopic.net has rather spectacularly and controversially died in the last month or so, ergo photos unavailable.
