    First picture (135/136) is nowhere near Wisbech - They are on the then new swing bridge over the repositioned entrance lock to Ipswich Wet Dock. They were, I believe, conducting a weight test of the bridge at the time (which had been built by Ransomes & Rapier, a few hundred yards away from where the picture was taken).
    The one of 129 looks suspiciously like Gt Yarmouth, given the Lacons brewery stores visible in the background............

    Several of those appear to be J70 0-6-0s :) Which looked very similar...and in some cases appear to have used the same numbers as the Y6s they replaced!

    (NB anything > 134 must be J70, the rest could be either, and not sure how to tell if you can't see the running gear - although the step in the side of the chassis looks to indicate a J70, so in those photos 125, 127 & 129 are probably Y6s, the rest J70s)

    I did see that motorised garden shed somewhere in the past - possibly at Quorn on the GCR. I did take a picture of it at the time just for novelty value......
    From memory, it wasn't full size either!

    Not really familiar with the slang nomenclature of modern diesels but I thought a 'shed' was a much larger and more recent build. :D
