This was during the short lived period when this now preserved loco passed to the freight sector for trialling with different gearing and traction motors. Working was mainly concentrated on clay traffic in Cornwall. Note the ‘ general user’ decals and unusual yellow nameplate. Copyright Colin Moss

A case of 'Mistaken identity'
The facts from Mike Roach
For several years the picture below, taken by Mike Roach, has appeared as 'an auto service returning from Menheniot'. Little else was known about it other than it was taken in June 1965. Sherlock Holmes (Roy Hart) pointed out the error and we referred it back to Mike Roach.
His reply is :- About the only thing that is correct is the date; it is June 1965 (12th to be precise). I was on a day trip from Plymouth to the S&D at Templecombe. Then going north to Bath and right through to Poole. So its Templecombe on my way south on the 16.20 from Bath behind 80146 of Bournemouth Shed. We came into Templecombe with 4C and went out with 7C. The pilot loco assisting my train out is pannier tank 4631 of Templecombe Shed. It was withdrawn the same month. The time is 17.47 and I had just 5 mins at Poole before coming back to Templecombe behind 76026. I eventually got back to Plymouth Station at 00.50 next morning. I had stamina in those days; couldn't do it now !
Best wishes,  Mike.

 This picture has now been transferred to the S & D section - many thanks Mike, a very good day out.
