A Golden Oldie
Redruth
Alan Harris

I believe the photo was taken c1900 and is of an 0-4-2 loco Class 517 built by the GWR at Wolverhampton between 1868 and 1885., designed by George Armstrong. Note the loco appears to be pushing its auto coach along the up line. Many thanks to Alan Harris for this picture from his collection.
