Ay up!

The first piccie of 60103 is certainly taken in Feb 1963 on test runs prior to repainting apple green and delivery to Mr Pegler. Probably Doncaster but may be Grantham. The giveaway is the high lamp bracket but normal position handrail. Oh, and the scars on the smokebox left by the old numberplate amd deflectors!

once again excellent pictures. 60071 should read Tranquil not Sunstar.

No. 1 of 30 :- "60071 Tranquil Ganwick?" - Certainly looks like it to me.
No. 11 of 30 :- "60085 Manna (158) HERE-------" - south of Hawkshead bridge, On Up Fast; - Again !
No. 16 of 30 :- "60102 Sir Frederick Banbury - 1962 Onwards (224)" - south of Hawkshead bridge, On Up Fast; - Again !
27 of 30 :- "60110 Robert the Devil - 1962 Onwards (138)" - Leaving Gasworks Tunnel, entering KX, on Up Fast
29 of 30 :- "60111 Enterprise (156)" - south of Hawkshead bridge, on Down Fast - Again !
30 of 30 :- "60111 Enterprise" - Leaving KX; on 'C' Route heading for Down Main No.1, I'd say. That the 'Passenger Loco' 'elephant house' shed looks like being under construction (framework to the right) may help others who know when that was, to date this photo fairly well.
