Afternoon all can anyone tell me what the above loco either an 0-4-0 or a 0-6-0 was and where it was going?

Many thanks

Probably GWR 1369 on it’s way from it’s home at the South Devon Railway to the Bluebell Railway for their upcoming Branch Line Weekend.

1369 – GWR – 0-6-0PT - South Devon Railway

The 1366 class of GWR locomotives was designed by C. B. Collett. They were built to replace ageing Cornwall Mineral Railway locomotives used for shunting around dock yards.

Westbound would be on its way home !

Has the Branch Line Gala not already happened? the dates I've got are 10th to 12th which means 1369 would be westbound Sussex to Devon

Many thanks for that it was 1369 going to the Dean Forest Railway.

Ignore me that was last year it went to the DFR on the 15th May.

Many thanks for that it was 1369 going to the Dean Forest Railway.

So after a visit to the Bluebell, 1369 is having a a spell at the Dean Forest Railway!

Going Bluebell > Dean Forest via Puddletown seems a very strange route. More likely to be heading home

Well the DFR branch line weekend is, according to the publicity, only making use of their own loco stock. 1369 is scheduled to work trains at the SDR next week.
