Summary
Description 32678 Avon Valley Railway - 45122395944.jpg |
English:
LBSCR Stroudley "A1X" 0-6-0T as BR No.32678 (originally LBSCR No.78, then No.678 'Knowle'; then SR Nos.B678, W4 and W14
Bembridge') in BR lined black livery and 1956 BR emblem, at Bitton Station, Avon Valley Railway, during the Remembrance Day Commemmoration, 11 November 2018. It is amazing that these tiny locos handled the intensive suburban services out of London (Victoria) and London Bridge very capably for many years in Victorian times. Nicknamed "Terriers" because of their snappy performance, 50 were built in 1872-1880 and it was not until 1900 that they were totally displaced from London suburban services. The first withdrawal took place in 1901 but so useful did the "Terriers" prove for small branch lines and shunting, that the last was not withdrawn until November 1963 (from the Hayling Island branch)!
