This is now Tyseley Locomotive Works and capable of top quality maintenance and restoration work. If I recall correctly this sorry wreck, that had been acquired for spares, was GWR Castle class No. 5043 Earl of Mount Edgcumbe. It has now been fully restored and is a storming performer on the main line. I had forgotten taking its photograph much earlier. The restoration was undertaken between 1998 and 2008.
