‘Lapford’ receives attention, Bournemouth Shed
West Country 4-6-2 34102 'Lapford' (but now devoid of nameplates) appears to be receiving some attention in the depot's lifting shop. 34102 was built March 1950 and lasted until the end of Southern Region steam traction in July 1967; it was notable because it was the last unrebuilt West Country to be withdrawn.

Bournemouth locomotive shed ? 1963
A pair of BR Standard class 5 4-6-0s, 73029 and 73025 wait outside the shed. The former appears to be fresh from overhaul. Most locomotives of this class were painted black, but several of those allocated to the Southern Region received the green livery normally reserved for express locomotives. The two locomotives have tenders of different designs.
