A real classic - GWR_3376 Bulldog class 3376 stands at Penzance awaiting the 'right away' in 1921, the crew are keen to be in the picture! . This was before the station was re-modelled. Note the platform is right against the north wall. Also note the profusion of advertising material on the wall. Reboilered in the 1930's The last locomotive of this class to be withdrawn in March 1951 was 3377 Penzance Courtesy Mike Morant Collection
Mike Morant has contributed quite a few, shall we say, 'old' pictures to our site for which we are most grateful. To these, today, we add these three rare views. Many thanks Mike.
