Primitive GWR Pannier Tank 0-6-0T at Croes Newydd Depot, Wrexham
This ancient 0-6-0T, No. 1532, dates back to 9/1879 when it was built at Wolverhampton Works as a standard saddle-tank, acquired its panniers in 1921 and just survived into BR, being withdrawn in 7/48.

Croes Newydd Locomotive Depot, Wrexham
View into the Depot in its last days - it closed on 5/6/67. Providing motive-power for the many branches, collieries and industrial sidings in the Wrexham area, this ex-GW Depot had many 0-6-0Ts, including the standard '8750' class No. 3709 (built 10/36) featured. Few engines were left by 1966, but in 1954 the allocation of BR/WR 84J had been 46:- 1 4-6-0, 1 4-4-0, 4 2-8-0, 8 2-6-0, 5 0-6-2T, 22 0-6-0T and 5 0-4-2T.

Croesnewydd South Signal Box
The view that footplate staff would have had of the approach to the crossing gates operated by the signal box. No sign of the Permanent Way controlled by the box, but there is still a dual track connecting Wrexham and Shrewsbury which passes immediately in front of the box.

Croes Newydd (Wrexham) Locomotive Yard
Scene in yard outside the Shed (roundhouse); ex-Great Western Depot south of Wrexham Exchange station in the triangle at the junction of the main line to Shrewsbury and branch to Rhos. Coded 84J by BR, it had an allocation of 53 locomotives (39 tank engines) in 1950, which was largely intact when this photograph was taken in 1966 - modernization having not yet reached the NE Wales mineral lines; three 0-6-0 Pannier tanks feature, but a BR Standard 2-6-0 is visible inside. The Depot lasted until 5/6/67.
