Outside in the Yard, freshly-repaired rebuilt Bulleid Light Pacific No. 34037 'Clovelly' (built 8/46 as No. 21C137, renumbered 3/49, rebuilt 3/58, withdrawn 7/67) is the subject of numerous young male admirers - who are also swarming round a BR Standard 4-6-0 beyond. In the background is the main office building of the Works.
