Michael Clemens question
:::Just noticed there is a photo in SVR News 15 of 80078 at Bridgnorth in 1963 with the 5.32pm from Shrewsbury. The loco was allocated to Croes Newydd at the time, so possibly another ad hoc working. --[[User:Robin|Robin]] ([[User talk:Robin|talk]]) 13:24, 30 March 2017 (UTC)
::::I wonder if Shrewsbury shed was suffering from a shortage of motive power in 1963 (perhaps due to the winter weather, as you say). Perusing Michael Clemens' book on Shropshire lines, I couldn't find any photos of 4MT tanks on the SVR, but the similarly rated 41xx tanks were regularly seen on freight, plus one or two exceptional passenger services on the Tenbury branch. --[[User:Danny252|Danny252]] ([[User talk:Danny252|talk]]) 17:14, 30 March 2017 (UTC)
::::I've seen Michael Clemens does talks at the branches, If someone is in contact with him, he might know more? As for my original edit, I was sure I had seen photos both of standard 3 and 4 tanks--[[User:Patrick Hearn|Patrick Hearn]] ([[User talk:Patrick Hearn|talk]]) 17:20, 30 March 2017 (UTC)
