GWR Collett "Hall" Class 4-6-0 No.6913 "Levens Hall" with Improved
Draughting, withdrawn at Swansea (East Dock), 10/64. Intriguingly, the
tender is an ex-R.O.D. one (with 1949 BR emblem!) but I have never
seen any reference to a "Hall" being coupled to such a tender. Scanned
photograph taken with an Halina 35X Super camera.
