The Alan Gibson Files: Another mystery steam loco
Another mystery loco. I'm not even sure what sort it is!
Last weeks, was apparenlty taken at Hockley Heath steam rally, late 1960s - is this one? It would make sense.
I have no idea, but Google Lens (stunning bit of software by the way) suggests it's a Hudswell Clark well tank. Appears to be one at Statfold, maybe it's that?
Bressingham is my guess. Looks like Alan Bloom on footplate?
ReplyDeleteAlan Bloom driving it at Bressingham is my guess….

ReplyDeleteIt is definitely Alan on Bronllwyd at Bressingham.
ReplyDeleteI hadn't guessed Bressingham - it's a long way from Alan's patch. Thanks
