Summary

Description

This appears to be a GWR rebuild of one of the 8 feet 10 inch wheeled Bristol and Exeter Railway 4-2-4T engines. When the GWR absorbed these engines No 39 was renumbered 2001. Soon after 2001 was derailed at Long Ashton near Bristol on the 27th July 1876 and the decision was made to rebuild them into 4-2-2 tender engines.

This photo seems to have been taken soon after the rebuild.


This photo was taken from an old original photo we came across while helping to clear the house of a deceased friend. I have uploaded it to Flickr in the hope that it might be interesting to steam enthusiasts.
