    18/19 - Definitely not a Peckett! Hudwell, Clarke 1888/58 Elizabeth at Esholt Sewage Works
    33 - Horsted Keynes on Bluebell Railway?
    38 - P 614/96 Bear at Sittingbourne & Kelmsey Railway
    40 - Eccles Pit on the Backworth NCB system?
    49 - P 1925/37 Caliban at Haverthwaite L & H R
    61 - I don't think this is Minehead. The loco seems to be on a road radiating from a turntable. My money is on Tyseley but, as I haven't been there since about 1972, it's very much a guess.
    59 & 60 - P2104 @ Northampton & Lamport?

    I think it is Tyseley, I been a couple of times in the last few years to board a Vintage Trains trips and the turntable is adjacent to the platform.

    Could be wrong on this, but No.48 of Whiston looks like preservation-era Foxfield to me, at Foxfield colliery rather than in NCB service? The track in the foreground starts to slope down sharply, I believe towards the engine shed? Not a railway I'm entirely familiar with I must admit, someone who knows it better may be able to confirm/deny?

    Having said that, the loco looks quite dirty so if it is a preservation shot then it's a very convincing one!

    Not Foxfield IMHO - the location is more like that in 40/70 and is probably one of the later NCB Colliery locations

    A couple of clues: 1) the loco is not vac fitted & 2) the driver is wearing NCB issue orange overalls. Not certain which pit, though.

    Isn't no. 63 on the Longmoor Military Railway where AD196 used to live? The space suggests it might be Longmoor Downs

    The badge on the front of Peckett 2104 in Picture 59 looks like that of the Northampton and Lamport Railway who are the current owners of this loco. See http://www.nlr.org.uk/nlr/wiki/stock-list/locomotives/peckett-r4-class-0-4-0st-№-2104/
    My guess is that this was taken at the opening of the railway around 1995/96 and must presumably be at Pitsford and Brampton. The Jinty in the picture was I presume a visitor as it is now at Llangollen. Isn't no. 60 the same loco?

    No 55 is at the Long Marston army depot. In October 1987 a tour ran into the camp as part of the Royal Engineers 200 year celebrations - hence the board on AD198 Royal Engineer. The 8F in the background is 48233 (carrying 8233) that brought the train in from Honeybourne.

    That should be 48773 carrying 8233:)

    #37 must be Dolobran as Rhiwnant lost its nameplates long before preservation and never carried them at Foxfield where it got painted blue, then maroon.

    #48 with Whiston will be at Bold colliery.

    Never mind the nameplates; the loco doesn't look anything like Rhiwnant, which has a saddletank going over the firebox.
