Interesting photos of this 2-6-0, taken in the same spot, 44 years apart:

Neat little Mogul. With a Belpaire firebox yet! I'm not much up on British locomotives; anybody have any idea when this little gem was built? How many were originally constructed? And, if BR #76079 is the only one of its class left?

Built in the 1950's, there is at least one other survivor (76017).
