    image.png Just idly looking through a YouTube video of steam loco scrapyards, the loco in the still posted above caught my eye, can anyone advise what it is please? Possibly a heavily rebuilt Cambrian loco?

    More likely an ex MSWJR Beyer Peacock I think. They were rebuilt with Std 10 boilers, I think the Cambrian classes mostly got parallel boilers.
