Not surprisingly the biggest single type of SR steam locos I photographed from 1962 to circa 1966 were those wonderful Bulleid pacifcs: West Country/Battle of Britain and Bulleid Merchant Navys. I do have exact dates etc for a small number of photos, but nowhere near enough for me to even start trying to post the photos in chronological order. So instead I have shown them here in numercial order. And other than where I do know the exact date, I have used the general expression "mid 1960s", to cover the years 1962-1966 when virtually all the photos were taken.
