Sad end for a British Railways locomotive in 1961:

Errrr, in a rush to get out the door and can't find my old Ian Allan abc guides.......... but wouldn't that have been a 4-6-0 of the "King Arthur" class?

Sandy,

I cannot get the site to open, but if it is loco 30715 as listed in the URL, then it is a Drummond "Greyhound" 4-4-0, class T9, listed as withdrawn from service July, 1961; which would go with the date on the photo for the scrapping.
