Compare Image On the same day, a photograph in the other roundhouse reveals five 'non-standard' locomotives, none of them of Great Western origin. They are:- ex-London & North Western 0-8-0 No. 49117, ex-Railway Operating Division (ROD, World War I) 2-8-0 GWR No. 3011, 0-8-0s Nos. 49177 and 49226, and a new BR 350hp 0-6-0 Diesel shunter No. 13353. The 0-8-0s were from Swansea Paxton Street Depot and may have been superfluous to requirements on the Central Wales line, but they were not withdrawn for another year.
