Farewell to the GWR Pannier Tanks

11th September 1966.

Great views of familiar places… Leamington just after the layout and signalling was changed and Stratford and north Warwickshire 🎉

It was 5 years later that some of the panniers were sent to work with London transport and support the Maroon red livery and that lasted until 1971 when the last day of steam on the London Underground had finally ended

Im building a 5" gauge 57xx at the mo, love the panniers, thanks for the upload 👍

A handful lingered on until 1969 in private use, proving testament to a robust design originally from South Wales colliery engines of the 1900s.

Anyone know the name of the station at 2.40???

Only 16 57xx panniers have been saved for preservation some can be seen on heritage lines

And as for 9600 7715 7752 and 7760 they are still active members for the mainline

But right now they’re not on the mainline as of 2024
