S_BR_30199_Exmouth_DKJ Adams O2 class 0-4-4T 30199 in sparkling condition passing the signal box at Exmouth . This negative sin't dated but believe that it was taken on 12/4/53 when 30199 participated in an Ian Allan railtour.
[Mike Morant collection
Its not only the loco that looks smart in this picture, there is a complete absence of clutter. On the left hand side of this picture the line to Tipton St John and Sidmouth Junction can be seen commencing the climb to Littleham, this route closed 6th March 1967.  Many thanks to Mike for another Gem from his collection.
