County Class


The GWR Hawksworth County Class 4-6-0s were introduced in 1945 but had all been withdrawn from service by the end of 1964. They were frequent visitors to Chester when we were spotting there in the early 1960s, and I eventually saw nineteen out of the thirty locos in the class. None were preserved, though a replica of No. 1014 County of Glamorgan is under construction. John Dyer took these photos of No. 1013 County of Dorset and No. 1025 County of Radnor at Chester and Ruabon.
