On 19/7/61, we visited Oswestry works with the school railway society. It was a Wednesday and surely, therefore, too early for us to have broken up for the summer holidays. I’m wondering if this was interpreted as an end of term treat to reward us for all our hard work [or not, as in my case].
John Dyer took his picture of Welshpool and Llanfair Light Railway 0-6-0T No. 822 The Earl prior to her receiving attention in the works. By the time we reached the W&LLR, in June 1970, The Earl had re-joined No. 823 The Countess and they had both assumed their original [rather than their BR] numbers, as W&LLR Nos. 1 and 2, respectively.
