​Here is a shot of ex-PDSWR engine 'Lord St Levan' to match Mike Morant's picture of 'Earl of Mount Edgcombe' (tho' this shot is of inferior quality!). Lord St Levan is here seen at Plymouth North Road in 1954. Contrast the livery and crest arrangement with the sister engine in Mike's photo. The two 0-6-2T were built for the Plymouth, Devonport & South Western Junction Railway in 1907. They were a dev elopment of 0-6-0 'A.S.Harris'. As put into service they were painted blue with copper-capped chimneys.
Both were transferred from Plymouth to Eastleigh in 1957, Lord St Levan for scrap, while the Earl had a last fling as the shed pilot at Eastleigh.
