Tail Lamp — Readers’ Letters
Cover: This month in Steam Days magazine in one of our popular 'Steam Days at . . series of articles we cover Southall, on the Great Western main line out of Paddington. One of the classes of locomotives prolific in the area was the '6100' 2-6-2T, the majority of the class allocated to the London Division. On 10 November 1963 Southall’s No 6165 of that class is seen at the coalinq staqe on its home shed.
